It is crying out for something, but in a less is more type way. (In my opinion.)
Dreamer_D said:LTL it looks simply stunning on you! From what I can tell of your personality, it looks like such a perfect match for your style. I looked back at the older pics and indeed, the alterations are impressive! Can't wait to hear about your big day!! Only two more weeks and people will start calling you "Mrs." instead of "Dr."

HaHa!!!! I am waiting for the reaction when people realize I have chosen not to change my name (at least for now). I am in a small town full of traditionalists. I found out I cannot change my name legally and continue to practice under my old name, so I am leaving it alone and will re-visit it when we have kids.

I haven't been on PS much, but I had to log in to comment on your dress.
You look completely dreamy in that dress. I think you have the PERFECT figure to carry that dress off.
It's so elegent!

For similar reasons I did not chage my name. I caved at 6 months in because I wanted to feel more like a family and the name mattered to me for that. I kept publishing as Dreamer Maiden Married though. You will know if you want to change it at some point. I did it on a whim because I had a moment of clarity.
You might think this is funny -- it was the first day of class and I was introducing myself to my students and I said, "You can call me Dr. D, or Professor D, but if you call me Mrs. D I am giving you and F!" It surprises me how many students will call a female professor "Mrs." when I cannot imagine them calling a male professor "Mr." I think it is funny but still want the respect of the proper title.

Oh Leon... always full of shenanigans!
LtlFirecracker said:I can see myself wanting to change names once we have kids. Right now I am just not ready to give up my current name as a professional name. It is funny what you say about the proper title. Me and my father had an argument on weather I should use my title at the wedding. He said I would be embarrassing the groom and getting the older people upset if did that. No one would ever tell a male doctor not to use his title in a social situation. My FI has no issues with me using my title, but I think I am going to avoid it because I don't want this to turn into a drama fest.
