How were you Introduced?

How were you Introduced at your Reception??

 

[KStarfish82]

Do you mean by title? Or order?

Well we had the parents called first....then bridesmaid/groomsmen....then MOH and BM....and then us

We did Katie and Matt ________________ because I did not like being Mr. and Mrs. Matt ___________. I'm my own person and I was very adamant about that

If there is anything else I can help you with, let me know because I was just married last week!

 

[Eeyore's Tailfinder]

I want us introduced as Mr & Mrs LastName - Like Katie I didn't want to be Mr & Mrs Elfyn LastName

 

[Handbag Lady]

We went with Mr. & Mrs. His first and last name.

It was really important to my husband. His starter wife didn't take his name and it seemed to bother him even 15 years after they divorced.

I'm my own person and everyone I know knows that. It was fun to be part of a new unit that way for me. I was 32 when we married and was already successful in life.

I know people are different and I totally support whatever that works for you.

This is the correct approach. I say do whatever you want to do. Whatever you are comfortable with is the answer.

That's what we're doing for the exact same reason. It's one minor thing. I don't mind Mr. and Mrs. Robert _________ for that moment if it makes him happy.

But I would have been cool with Mr. Robert and Ms. Meg ________ whatever. Call me anything, just not late for dinner (har har - bad old joke!!)

I think we had, "The bride and groom, Brandy and Steven!"

I kept my name, and I wasn't being called "Mrs." (Personal thing.) So it was either that or, "Mr. Steven H___ and Ms. Brandy W_____, which is exactly what they were before!"

 

[dhay]

We didn't have a reception to be introduced to but for the ceremony we were announced as Dawn and Jason hislastname. I did not want to be Mrs his last name or Mrs Jason his last name.

No implied judgment at all, but why would it matter? I know a few other men who have said the same thing, but I never wanted to "start something" by asking. If you don't mind sharing, I'd love to know why men (yours specifically) think it's important...

My husband felt the same about his ex..I think it was more like she didn't want his last name, so he felt slighted. Maybe it was just the WAY she protested more than the actual thing.

Hmm, fair enough. I can see how it could be stated in a very dismissive or insulting way... Thanks for answering!

I've always wondered what I would have done if this had been an important issue for DH. Because not taking his name was important to me...

 

[kcampbell]

We went TOTALLY traditional and DJ Scott Messina (best DJ- request him if you're having one!) said,
"Ladies and Gentlemen, it is not only my honor, but it is my privilege to introduce our bride and groom. Please put your hands together for the new Mr. and Mrs. Jim _____."

I will say that a few months before my wedding I hesitated with this (and toyed with other intros to keep my "identity"), but the closer the wedding came the more comfortable I became with being Mrs. Jim ____ and no longer Miss/Ms. Kelly ____. (It is both of our first marriages- not planning on a second )

Ultimately, You do what You want----it's YOUR DAY and YOUR PARTY!!! Congrats!

 

[bridetobe789]

We were announced as Mr. & Mrs. his last name! I really didn't care either way so I told our DJ whatever he wanted!

He felt it was more of a joining of two into one thing. Two against the world kinda thing. It made him happy and I didn't have an opinion either way!
