The Hammonds

What are your thought on taking your husbands last name?

I will be getting married next July and I will most definitely be taking his name. It is a little scary because I have a huge family that is very close and when someone says "The Denison's " people know who you are. My fiance is not close to his dad's side of the family. ( Although his mother make up for it because she is about the best mother-in-law I could ever hope for.) Dispite the fact that he is not close with that side of the family, Justin is EXTREMELY proud of his last name . I have actually never met his dad's side of the family and likely never will. We decided a wedding was not the place to do something like that either. With that said Justin and I will be the only "Hammonds" at our wedding. I think that is very exciting and liberating. He is just thrilled that I will be Mrs. Laurel Hammond and his excitement has fueled mine! I don't think many people can say that they are the Only people at their own wedding with a particular last name!
