Husband? What?

[*Casey*]

So I just got a text message from a friend of mine inviting me and FI to a BBQ this weekend. No biggie, but she said , "you and your HUSBAND" just joking since i'm the first of our friends to get engaged. Lol. Anyway, it was just so weird (maybe not the right word to use) to see the word "husband" for the first time. I did a double take... like, wait, what? It was exciting to think of him as my future husband and not my boyfriend, or even fiance! Anyone else had this breakthrough moment?

OMG, I Know the "word" husband seems so crazy to hear!!! I think it will be really crazy changing our names!!! I will be Mrs. Allen instead of Miss Pearson. CRAZY!

We had our legal ceremony on the 8th, which is also my birthday, and my little sister's birthday. A few days before, my sister went to get the mail and she started getting all excited about getting her first card in the mail for her birthday. I asked if I got on too, and she told me no, but then said 'yes, and there is a card for you and Larry too!'. I was a little confused about that, but when she gave it to me, it was adressed to Mr & Mrs G_____. It was a wedding card for our legal day, but it was weird seeing it written down. Even now, I don't know what to call him. That is why I keep referring to him on here as Larry rather than FI or DH. Although we are legally married now, our DW is what we are considering our wedding. It is almost like we are in limbo LMAO!!

Haha I always laugh still when someone calls Robin my husband. Yesterday i got a new nameplate at work and it has my NEW last name on it. I had to take a double take because it just looked so weird in big font.lol

I know!!! I have 3 sisters who are all married with no brothers... so once I make the change, the family name will be lost with my parents. Have yall ever considered moving your maiden name as your middle name? I will love being Mrs. Satullo, but I'm weird about the family name disappearing.

Please! It's been 4 months since our wedding & I still say/hear "husband" and am like "what", "who"? Ohhh....yeah, right, he's my husband now! LOL! I also blush or smile sometimes when I refer to him as hubby and I get so surprised at myself for feeling this way. I keep wondering when the warm/tingly feeling is gonna pass!

I can't even imagine. I'm sure i'll be sitting in a doctors office, and when they'll call out "Satullo", I'll probably just sit there like an idiot. Hahaha. I can't wait to be humiliated like that

I have 2 brothers who are both married so I don't really have to worry about it, but I plan on putting my maiden name as my son's middle name (my maiden name is a boy's name, so it works!!!). Matie is convinced that our son's first name will be Maverick though, and he's not budging, so I had to settle for middle name Maybe we won't have a son and we won't even have to worry about it!

OMG....I forgot about that! Happened to me too. I had just gotten back to work & was walking in the hallway & someone referred to me as "Mrs" and I ignored them. They were like, "hellllooo Yolanda, didn't you hear me talking to you?" I totally didn't know they were talking to me cuz they called me by my new name!!! Talk about embarrasing! It really takes some getting used to!

And then wait until you're with your MIL & someone says "Hi Mrs so & so". You'll both be like "Hi"!!! LOL...
His friends would do that & I know they were talking to me, so in my head, I'd be like um, I think they're talking to me!!!

I totally get what you are saying! I am not sure I will ever get used to it. Well I am sure I will but I hope I don't. I love signing my new last name. Even if it doesn't go well with my first (Stephanie Gaskill). I still look at him and it almost feel like I am lying when I say or think husband. It just feels weird. A good weird!
