Perhaps you religiously email a handful of confidants weekly and your partner gabs away on the phone with a pal almost daily. Both of you enjoy catching up with the small armies of friends on Facebook, too. Now you are planning on exchanging your vows and the question arises, “Who will be in your wedding party?” Maybe you have attended weddings where bands of men and women outfitted in matching attire stroll gracefully, arm-and-arm, preceding the guest of honor. Perhaps you have even dreamed of what your beautiful crew would be wearing, and which people would look best together. I never dreamed about my wedding but (admittedly) when I would see a great bridesmaid pictorial, I would imagine my wedding party. But how would I ever make the call?

The article discusses a recent study conducted in Holland that explores whether women who change their names are at a disadvantage in their careers – both landing the job as well as negotiating pay. The author reports that:     The Dutch researchers also found that married women who keep their maiden names were viewed as more competent and intelligent than those who take their husband’s name. On the other hand, women who changed their names were more likely to be viewed as caring, dependent, emotional and less ambitious. I am in the camp of ladies who did not change their names.
