Finally, my husband is the most important person in my life and I plan on keeping him for a very long time. Having the same last name for me is a sense of unity. I didn't "lose" anything by shedding my former name.

I couldn't agree with you more

I was very proud to take on my husband's name, and I don't feel as though I lost anything by giving up my father's name.
Marriage is a unity of two people, bringing us together as one. Having the same last name is important to me.

I have no problem with women who do not change their names, it is strictly a personal choice.
