FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Do You Take This Man.and His Name Too? Most Brides Do.
HACKENSACK, NJ (April 3, 2007)-WedAlert.com, one of the most popular and fastest growing interactive online wedding planning directories on the Internet, today announced the results of its poll on whether brides will be keeping their maiden names or not. The choices and results were as follows*:
Brides, will you be keeping your maiden name?
Yes - 21%
No - 79%
"The results of this poll show that the tradition of the bride taking the groom's name still prevails," said Kristin Ciccolella, a wedding expert and
co- founder of WedAlert.com. "Sometimes, when a woman meets that special someone, she cannot help but fantasize about what her new name will look and sound like, so there is a certain frisson about taking the name of her groom. In addition, there is a thrilling blending of identity that meshes the couple together and, if they intend to have children, sharing the same last name creates a sense of unity for the whole family. On the other hand, a woman may decide to keep her maiden name for a variety of reasons. For example, she may consider it to be an essential part of her personal (especially since women are marrying later in life nowadays) or professional identity, an important reflection of her heritage, or simply may not want to go through the hassle of changing her name on her driver's license and other forms of identification."
