- Hi
- A friend of my husband sent us an invitation addressed to "Mr Lyle Jaeger
- and Guest". When my husband RSVPed I made sure he told his friend that
- he was married. His friend's response was that he didn't know my name. Huh?
- In this case I would have been happier with "Mr and Mrs Lyle Jaeger".
- I think what really happened is this guy gave his wife a least of names
- (mostly guys) and she ASSUMED he wasn't married (most of his friend aren't).
- My husband teased me for days, that he would need to find a "guest" for
- the party.
-
- I took my husband's name because when I got married I was fresh
- out of college and didn't have a job, so no one know me (professionally)
- as Cecila Peltzer. I like my new name.
-
- Cecilia Jaeger (thats how I sign things)
- or Ceci Jaeger
- or C. Jaeger
- (This started with my father Carman. He always signed things C Peltzer)
- (That way people aren't influenced by a "male" or "female" name.)
-
- Or Sis Stawberry
