Would you let your bride keep her SURNAME if she wanted to?

After the wedding, it is customary that the bride takes on the family name of the groom. Would you mind if she prefers to keep her family name and/or attached a dash connecting your two surnames together? Your thoughts please.

It's up to her. If she was a Doctor she may want to keep her maiden name since the patients knows her. I am a woman I took my husband's name.

Customary is made by our ancestor.And in different place the customary is defferent.In my country we have no this customary.When a girl became a wife of sb,shen still uses her family name.I think it depends the bride's idea!

Speaking from the Bride's perspective. My fiance and I aren't going to "let" eachother do anything. We are independent people, and we don't need to let one person do smething, it's all up to us. He and I have discussed it and he PREFERS that I keep my surname. I had my father's surname at birth, but then I took my mother's birth name because I wanted a Danish last name. My fiance is proud of what I have done, and he wants me to keep that name after we get married. That works for me, because I wouldn't have changed it anyway!!!
