I am married and have been for 13 years.

When Jeff proposed to me I never even thought "should I take his last name"...not even once. I was going to be Mrs. Meir period.

I am kinda old school though.

Some of you say that you don't want the others last name because it is hard to pronounce. Mine is Meir. pronounced "Meer". You don't know how many people pronounce it "Myer"! It really drives me nuts but I correct them and go on my way.
