[rustynutz]

Best 2 day wedding I've ever been to, Steve......
Feeling pretty washed out this morning though.
I won best fancy dress costume on the bus trip...I was a real chic magnet.....    

Hopefully I can post a pic when I feel up to going through all the photos......Little bit worried about traumatizing you lot though....  :-\

and you thought it was going to be a crap wedding. 

[rustynutz]

Only 2 day wedding I've been to...

Seriously though, had a great time, except for the sunburn.....

You could say I'm bathing in the afterglow.....

I read a newspaper article this week, can't find it at moment but if I do I'll post, that 2010 was a a year that a record number of people change their birth name in the UK as they either hated it or wanted to add to it .  A chap wanted 26 christian names, 1 for each letter of the alphabet.

Has anyone changed their name?

When I was 10y/o my mum re-married and I was offered to take my Step-Dads surname but I was attached to my Surname (A very common English one but not Smith Jones or Brown) so I declined. I thought it would be confusing as I was already notorious even at that stage..

When I was 17 my Dad died and Mum re-married a couple of years later. I was by then nearly 20 and elected to change my surname to help with integration of the new family (my brother, 10 years younger) was adopted by our stepfather and changed his name, too.
I've never regretted it as our stepfather was a great guy and consider myself very lucky to have scored two fabulous fathers in one lifetime. Unfortunately, he too is gone from this life.
My birth surname was "Keith" and as Brian knows, this is a good Scottish name with a long heritage based around Dunnottar Castle just about 20 minutes drive south of Aberdeen.

Mine was in the 20th century.
Yorkminster sort of "changed allegiances" around Henry VIII's time.
