Just 5 More Days

Yes indeed, I can very much imagine!
As of early afternoon on the 23rd, I am a free woman until the 5th of January. I have been looking forward to this all year.

It's important to us both that we have the same last name as a symbol of unity -- no argument, no compromise, we both agree that's what we want.
Ian has the name of his biological father, someone he's never met, and therefore a name with no meaning to him.
My name, while rich with emotional meaning to me, has many spelling and apostrophe problems in technology that make it undesireable for either of us to keep.
Then I take some feminist umbridge with the very notion of "having" to change my name, my identity, when I marry. It really bothers me. However, the idea of both of us choosing a name together, both of us changing to form something new is really quite nice! I can embrace that with delight.
So Ian and I pretty much picked a name out of a hat -- or literature, rather. We're both going to change our last name to Moriarty when we marry. Why that? Well, may as well choose a name with a little class, and we like villains ( ... )
