Michelle - That's cute! I've done that with guys I found attractive. =P haha. Shoe - You have right to be upset! If I'm going to get the kids anything expensive or hell, bigger than a cheap something, then I'd want to check with the parents to make sure they weren't getting it. I didn't check before getting the little girl a bday pres b/c I had planned on getting her a toy but I ended up buying her a vivitar camera (like $20 ). So that worked. But the Wii? That's HUGE. @_@ Kathryn - I hear ya!! I'd feel that way too if I were you! If my middle name had started with an L mine would be sequential too. =P But alas, it starts with an E. Which is why I will NEVER take his last name (or at least cringe if I do) if it starts with an N. XD Because then my initials would be KEN...bad childhood nickname from the bullies. =P Not my style. If I really loved the guy then initials wouldn't matter. =P But I'm inclined to hyphenating as well. It depends on WHAT his last name is. Dear god if It's long then the kids may just have one name. Because my last name in itself is 8 letters. That's a lot. =P Also - lol. My birthmom's maiden name is Savage. @@ B - Yea. I can understand that. Hyphenating is equal. I LIKE my last name. No one can spell it without looking...but I like it. =P Regarding the naming issue as a whole. It's interesting to think about how difficult cultures take the naming thing for instance. Over in the Republic of Georgia, a woman is born with her father's last name. She keeps that family name her whole life, even when she marries. But the children they have take the father's last name and that's that.

I would consider hyphenating my name but it would just sound weird -__- I have a Chinese/Japanese surname so it's probably not gonna work even if I marry someone Chinese/Japanese.:/

kaitlin, I wouldn't give any children (spirits forbid that ever happens to me anyway!) a hyphenated name. They'd get Jonathan's surname. I just want to hyphenate my own name, and his is short, so it wouldn't be so bad. I mean... I have a friend with the last name of Borgomainerio, and if I married into her family, screw hyphenating because thirteen letters is quite long enough, thanks. However, Jonathan and I both have really simple surnames, so it's no biggy. I just wish Jonathan realized it was no big deal. XD
Maybe we're related? My father has sisters and brothers that I've never met! What if your bio mom is related to my bio dad? Is she a natural blonde? I'm pretty sure my dad said that all of his siblings have our colouring (platinum blonde hair, blue eyes, fair skin). Wouldn't that be hilariously awesome if it turned out we were?
kaoru, you never know! You could marry someone and decide to hyphenate and end up with the best, most epic surname in the universe! Just saying it could invoke secret powers that could change the world!
Confession: The only reasons I want to get married have to do with the vanity of it all. I want that one special day where I dress up in a ridiculously expensive dress, gorgeous make-up, and have my love by my side while pictures and videos galore are amassed in our honor. I also want the damned rings. Other than that, we can have each others' legal benefits with a civil union/domestic partnership, so why marry?

I would if the hyphenated name wasn't too bad. But with my last name it would be so they'd probably get his last name (whoever he would be =P). HAHAHA yeaaa... Maybe!! That would be cool. I don't know! If she's like me, she had blonde hair for years.Mine...changes from time to time now. =P That'd be kinda cool! I mean I don't know if she had sibs or not, but I met her dad. And he was old old. But I'm blue-eyed with fair skin! Could be generations back or something. THat WOULD be cool. I was born in PA. Any family around that area? I love Kathryn's optimism! She's right! =D HAHAHAH!! Confession: I want the whole vanity too. But I also want to be with someone for the rest of my life. I want that lifelong love and a family with him. I am a HOPELESS romantic. XD O! And I know a couple who was nerdy enough to get their rings engraved in Elvish. Just sayin.

The family I have in PA is all on my mom's side... My dad's family lives in Colorado or thereabout.
See, I already have commitment, though. I don't need a piece of paper and a law to tell me that Jonathan and I are committed to one another. However, I think the idea that I'm legally bound to be with someone for the rest of my life is... too much pressure. It is so freaking expensive to get a divorce, and while I am committed fully to Jonathan and he to me right now, we don't know what the future will bring. One or the other of us could change our minds or change in directions that don't accommodate our being together. I'll always love him, but I'm a realist, and while he's a romantic, he also has some realism in his brain, too.
However, if we do get married, it's going to be because he asks me. I won't say "no." I'm not anti-marriage. I just don't think it's absolutely necessary for me, personally, but I wouldn't mind it. I also wouldn't mind a long engagement if we chose to do it that way.
Also, Jonathan and I would be that nerdy. Trust me. Tengwar is one of the most beautiful scripts I've ever seen. Tolkien didn't screw around with the creation of new languages.

Hmmm...idk if Jenn's family is originally from there or not. So maybe they moved from elsewhere? *shrugs* It took a long time before I found out as much as I do know.
I see. I don't need that either. I just want the rings, and the wedding and the FAMILY. I've been READY for a commitment forever. XD Yea...=/ My parents did but I believe I can do it! I'm a combo...but perhaps the romantic in me wins. =P
I see. *hugs* Well I just want to find the right person. I've been ready for YEARS! Where are you love? =/ Maybe I'm not as ready as I think but ...Idk. I want to find someone and begin that journey!
WOO! it IS beautiful!
