In response to "Yeesh, old-timey monarchy "Mrs Michael Tindall today safely delivered a baby" " by ty97

My wife and I had the biggest argument during our wedding planning over this very issue.

Formally it is correct and lots of "older people" still do it (we receive Christmas Cards from my wife's family that way) but I personally feel that it makes the wife an extension of the husband and is quite sexist.

Responses:

she *wanted* to be Mrs. Walt Disney? i love old timey formality, but i have issues with that one still being used. -- nm - Andie Jan 17, 06:33 6
- No, HE wanted to be Mrs Michael Tindall. -- nm - Ender Jan 17, 06:44
- When we sent out our invitations she wanted "Mr and Mrs John Smith" to the adressee's. I wanted "John and Jane Smith"..We argued about it for days. -- nm - Walt_Disney Jan 17, 06:40 4
  - I think it was a compromise....I sent my invites with my way and she sent her's her way....Princess Disney will learn my way :) -- nm - Walt_Disney Jan 17, 06:51 1

  - You probably should have gone with your actual names instead of obvious pseudonyms. You probably confused a great many of your guests. -- nm - Ender Jan 17, 06:45
