While most women take their partner's surname at the alter, they're under no legal obligation to do so. But one woman has encountered an "unexpected" complication after refusing to take her husband's last name.
She explained how she and her husband both have double-barrelled names - and both feel strongly about keeping them in their bloodline. However, this would mean condemning their children to four surnames.
Taking to Reddit, she said: "Like many women, especially those who choose not to change their names or choose to hyphenate, I feel strongly about passing along my name. My husband feels the same way about his - as we are both only children."
