Did you take your husband's name?

[Sophist]

I kept my own name and got a lot of criticism for it since it was the mid-1970's and not popular in England then. I didn't have a wedding ring either. I said I didn't want to be banded and branded like a piece of property. I was married in my heart and soul and that was enough for me. T. didn't mind at all.

I also rejected the whole ring/band idea.

I also need an "other". When we get married in February, for several reasons my new husband will be taking my last name.
