N is for Name

What's in a name? Quite a lot, apparently! Is it still the modern thing for a girl to keep her own surname or are we all to ready to trade in our moniker for the chance to become Mrs Other Half? Maybe it all depends on his name and yours? We know of a lady who was called Miss Heaven - who'd ever give that up? And another of our brides became Mrs Devine, we'd jump at that! But what if his was really bad, or your name was Tuesday and his name was Knight. Not a good mix! Personally, we think that's exactly what it is, personal! In this richly coloured tapestry that is the Illustries own memory-library, it's been done both ways. First time round for Emma: double-barrelled. Second time, wholeheartedly Mrs P, and that's the way it’s staying! And a good friend of ours persuaded her husband to take her name - good on you Mrs Wege!

We carried out a totally non-scientific survey via the blog and twitter this week, and the vote came down firmly in favour (90%) of the bride changing her name - you old traditionalists! Oh, and there was one vote for him changing his - we think a certain Mrs Wege may have visited!
