Maiden Names and Married Names
Guest Blogger :: Drew
What's in a name, really? For Andy and I, it is how we identify as one happy family, so we want to share our last name after the wedding. But how? Hyphenate with Coleman-Erickson? No, that would get really old after signing my name about twice. Mix the two and go for Coleickson or Erickman? Nah, doesn't really roll off of the tongue. Well, Andy offered to give up his name so we could both take mine. Coming soon, Mr. and Mr. Andrew and Drew Coleman!

Drew! this is great. Erika and I went through the same set of "wonder"... we too decided against williams-cardenas for me and thought that it would be too much for our kids too. Why can't we share a name?? After all, Erika asked ME to marry her. So as of 2/20/10---Mrs. Erika and Mrs Shannon Cardenas. I can't wait! so, how much does the name change cost? Does it take a long time for it to go in effect? Ooh, a new blog perhaps.
