[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a DH and my wife did not take my name.

My grandmother always got it wrong, and that was OK because she was just old-fashioned.

My parents and other close relative get it right - but I have an aunt that for years has sent stuff to Larla and Larlo HisLastName - and it drives me crazy.   They are either stupid or intentionally rude.

But still, not worth saying anything to them.  [/quote]

Well technically Larla and Larlo Hislastname isn't wrong because you didn't list what her last name is?

Idk I had names on my Christmas card list that didn't even fit on my envelopes. Including a wife who had a hyphenated last name and her husband had a different. [/quote]

Technically, it is wrong because the convention for addressing a married couple is to use that form, so people will assume they share a last name. [/quote]

No - you totally missed the point.  That is the old-fashioned way of doing it.  If Larlo HisLastName and Larla HerLastName get married, and she keeps her way, the appropriate way to address them is Mr. and Mrs. Larlo HisLastName and Larla HerLastname.  Otherwise you are being rude/ignorant  of Larla wanting to keep her name.[/quote]
