Also quite weird using my new last name. I once said my maiden name and then quickly said I mean 'bourque' hahahah!

I can imagine! I'm not changing my last name but just thinking about calling myself something different after so many years would be weird at first haha

Always love to hear why some change their name and not others?   I always grew up hating my last name, so it was a no brainer for me HAHAH!  If my children had my last name I wouldn't have changed it, but since they don't anyways it wasn't a big deal.  It is a pain in the butt to change it and also costly! ugh!      But you are right, saying husband, using your new last name, using your new signature, etc. is quite an adjustment.

I never wanted to change my last name, even before meeting Juan. My mind was made up pretty much since I was a teenager. I like my last name and the way I see it, if a man won't change his name why should I change mine. I know it's a silly argument haha but it makes sense in my head . I guess I don't have a super valid argument more than my last name being part of my identity and I want to keep that :). It's always personal preference I think.

Forsure... I just love to hear why people chose one way or another.  My sister has a male friend who took his wife's last name!!

@@calgarybride2015 Hahaha.. it's funny how these things can affect us in these ways. If I have a boy one day I really want to name him "Porter", poor guy will be P.Yu .. but I feel like at that point P you will be a thing of the past that these new aged kids won't even find funny.. I hope. haha

 

 

You make a valid point.  With all the electronics and stuff these days, kids are in a totally different world!!!

In our culture the kids take the dads and the moms last name. So my kids will be named Aguilar Lopez, just like I am Lopez Bilbao and he is Aguilar Zapata. That way the kids always have both the parents' names :)

That's awesome! I had never heard of that before, only of guys who get really offended when women will not take their last name. Thankfully Juan left it up to me he said that it was my name and I should do what I wanted with it.

 

I think if I really hated my name I would change it as it would be the perfect excuse to do it :)

Ohhh I love that idea!!  if we had talked some 9 years ago (lol) I may have given my kids both of our last names!!!

And your last names are soooo dreamy too!  (mine is far from dreamy lol).....

I'm not taking my FIs last name because growing up my mom never changed hers and we have the same profession-in science a lot of times women keep their maiden name. So it has just been engrained in me. I get why people change their names and it does seem easier/romantic ( also my name is hard to pronounce and my FIs is easy) but for me my name is part of "me". Although not going to lie, it's nice not having to jump through all the hoops to change it

 

My FI doesn't care ( if he did we'd have a problem, more on the principal of it all) and I told him the kids can have his last name but that means I get more pull picking their first name

Sometimes I wish I had the same as my kids but since it's more and more common not to, it's less hassle. Some 15 years ago my sister had to prove they were hers all the time. Upset her deeply

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
