Example, Mr. and Mrs. John Smith

I hate this for the obvious reasons but it’s especially annoying to me because my wife didn’t take my surname!

    It’s especially irritating when it’s something like a wedding invitation, they should know you well enough to get it right! Often that comes down to some old fuddy-duddy’s misogyny.

    Even if she had taken your surname, she still has her own first name, not John!

      Yeah…. I didn’t know my friend had a different last name. I thought she put something obscure as her last name so she wouldn’t be tracked
