You don't HAVE to change your name if you marry
I know, and wouldn't do so!
Apart from not wanting to change a nice, easy name to a complicated one, I've had my name for 30 years, and it's part of me....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
I don't want a church wedding but want the whole white dress thing. I suppose the point of a wedding is that all your friends and family come, the drinks flow and everyone has a good time watching you commit to each other!
If OH and got married, we most certainly wouldn't do so in a church. Think Bar Mitzvah rather than confirmation LOL...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
Is this the case with renting?0

Everyone can spell my name, and say it too. Apart from when we visit Israel, and my name causes all types of trouble, and OH's is fine LOL
Wow that sounds similar to my name! But there are 9 people in the UK (over 18) with my name (my boyfriend looked it up on the electoral role at work!) well 5 of them are my family and my nan, but the other 4 are a mystery! Would be interesting to find out who they are. Sounds like your OH's name comes from Israel, that is the annoying thing about my name, we don't know where it came from! (Well my dad obviously but you know what I mean!)
I am not going to get married in any religous establishment simply because I am not practising in any religion. Jewish weddings from what I have seen on TV (not a great source I know!) look great fun but very expensive!0 -

I'm not Jewish, OH is, so we are kinda ruled out of any religious ceremony LOL...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
I know this is really off-topic but when I dropped my daughter off at school this morning the head teacher was really excited about me arranging a visit to the local synagogue. And surprised she had never known there was one here before.
Only, we're not Jewish. Not even lapsed Jewish. We're out and out atheists who protested when their daughter was sent to a CoE school. It was a complete and utter figment of my beautiful 6 year old's imagination. Right down the the 'special red dress' ... (I think she has fantasies in which I am a yummy rather than a slummy exhausted mummy).
But it was funny!Mortgage started on 22.5.09 : £129,600Overpayments to date: £3000June grocery challenge: 400/6000 -

But it was funny!
In her first term at primary school, my then 4 year old sister's class had a discussion about their parents.
The next day, a couple of other mothers drew mine aside, and expressed their sympathy, offered to help, and she had funny looks from another couple.
The teacher explained that my sister had told the class that the day before her Daddy had gone to prison.
Darling little sis didn't go on to explain that he'd been visiting a client, and had come home again for dinner!...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
I think schools probably have a lot of problems with the children of lawyers. Same child was doing a project on ...
cabin boys
Oops. Well, you can probably guess the story she took in (creative spelling corrected).
"Cabin boys serve the master on the boat. Sometimes they get eaten."
And it wasn't even me who told her. My other one used to take a book from home every day to flick through (he's into flicking). His favourites were a Sarah Paretsky novel, "Burdens and standards of proof in criminal law" and the New Zealand Crimes Act 1961 (from which you may deduce my main academic interest, trusts is a teaching 'side-line').Mortgage started on 22.5.09 : £129,600Overpayments to date: £3000June grocery challenge: 400/6000 -

Given the choice, trusts wouldn't be a side-line for me, but a long, long way away (-:
