Are We Taking Our Husband's Last Name? (And What Marriage Means To Us)
In this episode we get into a question that feels simple but somehow isn’t at all: are we taking our husband’s last name… and what does marriage actually mean to us? We start talking about the relationships we grew up around and how much they’ve quietly shaped what we think a “good” marriage looks like. And then it kind of spirals (in the best way) into expectations, identity, independence, and all the things no one really explains to you when you’re younger. We talk about the first time we actually thought about changing our last name and why it suddenly feels like it carries so much more weight than just paperwork. We also get into the parts people don’t always say out loud: the fears around marriage, the financial reality of building a life with someone, and how independence fits into something that’s meant to be forever. Basically, this episode is us trying to figure out what marriage actually means to us, now: not what we were taught, not what we see online, but what actually feels right. Wherever you're listening to this, we hope you enjoy!
