@TheLadyE- I know I’m randomly jumping into this thread to say I had the same surgery Lion Tamer has and had some residual nerve damage, which means I can get a cavity filled with no anesthetic because I don’t feel much and walk around with lunch on my face without knowing it. However, that doesn’t really have any effect on kissing my husband. The feeling itself is a bit different, but kissing is a lot about emotions and feelings and I still enjoy it. So, I will say as someone that has gone through it, that he’s overthinking this a bit much, maybe because he didn’t have any kissing experience before the surgery. Hopefully the date and kiss go wonderfully! Good luck!
My husband didn’t really care either way what I did, and we never really talked about it. When we were signing the marriage license, I was just kind of like “Okay, I guess I’ll just take your name then”. Pretty anti-climatic. haha I have no real emotional attachment to my maiden name. To me, it’s not like *I* chose it, it was pretty much given to me because of my family tree, so I don’t identify with it that much. I also wanted to share the same last name with my future kids, so it was easier.
The only thing that sucks is that my new last name is one that no one ever gets right.
Wendy has been like the big sister I never met and the aunt I wish I had all wrapped in to one. I absolutely love her advice to people, especially when it rings true to me. I learned from her to step back and evaluate my own problems with the care and guidance she gives all of us.
I wrote into Wendy last year regarding bridesmaids drama, which at the time seemed so important, and she was able to get to the heart of the matter that it wasn’t really a wedding issue, it was a friend issue. I have a horrible habit of focusing on the little things, that I lose sight of the big picture or issue. Wendy is great at cutting through a vague LW’s letter and getting to the heart of the matter. I’m so jealous of the ability to be able to be personable and tough and dish out the best advice.
