I'm watching Bridezillas with John right now. Its such a nasty show, highlighting the negative aspects of todays wedding industry and the push towards the wedding as the end all goal. On the plus side, it makes me like look such a calm and relaxed woman compared to these crazies! I did a later afternoon 7 miler through the arboretum. The hills were okay, but the 75 degree temperature was ideal.
In other news, this article came out in USA today saying that 70% of the general public things that women should take their husbands last names when getting married. Really, 70% in this day and age. One of the main arguments was towards establishing a household mentality and a unified household demeanor. If thats really the case, then whats the argument for the groom not taking the brides name. And tradition, thats a reasonable opinion, but I wonder if the sources from the University of Utah (mormons?) and Indiana (which is fairly progressive) somehow sway the results. As a girl that loves my name, hyphens and all, I've often pondered the fact, but feel that if I was to adopt a new name, it would be the loss of not just one last name, but double that, and an entire blow to half my name (First and middle staying the same of course). Half is a lot to change. WAY more than 1/3.
Thats about all I have to say about that.
