Couple married with the same surname and now their daughter...

July 19, 2008 10:00am CST
is to also marry someone with the same surname. Parents Linda and ray shared the surname Dixon before marriage and will now see their daughter Ashley marry Jimmy Dixon. Linda and Ray were childhood sweetheart as are Ashley and Jimmy. They got married in 1970 and then had an unofficial ceremony in Gretna Green where next month Ashley will marry. Talk about keeping in it in the family. She wont have problems remembering to do her signature in her married name as it will be the same. Can you imagine filling in a form...surname : Dixon previous surname : Dixon that must cause some confusion!!!

Maybe this will make it easier for them, it is a little different though I think unless that happens to be a common name where they live, like here in some areas a lot of unrelated people have the same last names, that is interesting though..

I would be scared to do something like that, especially with my last name. I won't put it here, but its a surname that is common in my area, but not so common across the US. Basically they say that all people with my last name are related in some kind of way. So if I met someone that I really liked with the same last name, I would have to get a DNA test to make sure we weren't closely related. I hope they did the same, even though their name is kinda common.

That is pretty unusual. I wonder if it was a complete cooincidence or they seeked someone out with the same surname.

I dont think they seeked someone out as its pretty hard to find someone with that surname and fall in love with them. They happen to be school sweethearts so I think it is complete coincidence!!
