I think the side by side in the same outfit will be the best - that way you can really see change. Without the actual after photo, I feel like the before photo is just kind of like hey look at me i am fat! j/k lmao....too funny great idea.....

My family is very Catholic and traditional to say the least. lol..lol.. very nice love that idea...how are you getting all of you awesome ideas and stuff down....

Quote: Originally Posted by Morgan I don't think anyone on here feels you need defend your decision. But it is interesting to hear how people came to their decision. Not to defend it, but just to let us know why. It's cool to hear all the different options for names. Most of us who said we are changing said we are doing it because we don't care for or are not attached to our last name. I don't think there are many ladies on a destination wedding forum that are so old school they can't understand why a woman would keep her last name. I also think it's nice to hear that from some of the ladies that are keeping their names that they don't judge those who aren't. In my field women tend to keep their names. I don't want people to think it makes me less independent to change. But, I think most women would drop my name if given the opportunity so they probably understand. When my parents got divorced I actually wanted to join my mom with having her maiden name because it was a cool name. I guess I've never really had stong principals on last names. I just want a good on that's easy to pronounce preferably in the front of the alphabet very well said morgan.....for me my last name does not mean anything to me..i am adopted by my stepdad so for me my last name does not mean anything (we have no relationship) so i am so honored to take donnies last name but for the woman whos name does i think it is so personal and i respect your decision but no one should be defensive...and i dont remember reading anything that said that you should be.
