My husband and I celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary last week. Before we got married I mulled over options for changing or not changing my last name and it turned out to be a tougher decision than I thought. In this week's LND you'll find a story about taking your spouse's name and a legal blog post exploring the internet's effect on the marriage market. I don't know about the internet but I can tell you that fighting traffic in a long car ride over Memorial Day weekend to visit my in-laws will definitely put us to the test.
