(April) Runaway baer

The reason is simple. One of the Mister's pals emailled be about four months before the wedding, recommending I Google the phrase "April White". Said mademoiselle is a screenwriter of adult cinema scripts, with some 40 credits to her name on IMDB. :'O

So Baer I'll stay!!!

you didnt really allow a "search engine" to determine your family name?? and your husband just simply agreed to it???

"...your husband just simply agreed to it..."

I'm not married but I plan to keep my last name when I do get hitched. Whether the reason is because I just don't feel like standing in line at the DMV for a new license or because I don't like the sound of the new name or any other reason, I certainly won't be needing my husband's permission one way or the other.

Ah well, different strokes . . .

J/K....but its not about permission..its about joining as one. it's becoming part of his blood line and preserving a family name...your right different strokes I guess. but I wouldnt even consider marriage if the woman wouldnt change her last name....but Im old fashion I guess...a lowley dying breed
: (

ha . . . yeah, I guess I just place more importance on the tangible aspects of promising your life to someone else, as opposed to stressing those customs with a symbolic meaning that can vary wildly from culture to culture and as time goes on. In other words, not changing my last name would have no impact on the way my husband would feel toward me, or me toward him (after all, I wouldn't demand that he change his last name to suit me).

But yes, I do understand that for many people, customs like that that are ingrained into a culture are tough to get rid of. Presumably when I do finally decide to settle down, it'll be with a similarly iconoclastic person! ;)

maybe I just kinda like the sound of April Baer better than April White. I mean, I been wearing this tag around for a while now.

But it's not even original! Chad, would you believe there are at least two more April Baers wandering around out there? And one of them also got married this summer. I know cause she turned up on the Macy's registry.

gotta run-- sun's out.

try out the whole "hyphen" thing out??
doubt there will be another Baer-White
out there??

we were THIS close to catching a great concert there Sunday night! The Mister's buddy Todd Snider was playing a fest there. But we didn't get on the road soon enough--it should come as a surprise to no one that Saturday night's madness spilled over to the next morning.

Thanks for the good wishes!

Signed,
The Missus.

I can't help thinking... what would a wedding be without the aid of Groomsmen ?
