In this episode, we have guest host Tiffany back on the podcast again for coffee time! We first discuss the history of women changing their surnames after marriage, as well as some current statistics. During coffee time, we discuss the process of changing surnames (from her maiden name to her husband's surname) after marriage, as she has been going through this process, as well as her reasoning behind doing so. We also discuss our own thoughts on changing surnames after marriage, and alternatives to doing so.
