Day 8

I had a hard time deciding on what to do with my name when I got married. Do I keep my maiden name? Do I hyphenate? Do I take my hubby's and drop mine? I loved my maiden name. It was the only thing that told people that I was Greek. I look like my Irish heritage not my Greek. I was debating for a long time. I even created Quinnopoulos out of both names (that was only jokingly but I liked it. I even named a cocktail that at our reception.) I went to the State Fair for work about 5 weeks before our wedding. I saw the sign makers. I had made up my mind but wanted to tell Mike in a special way. So I had this sign made and gave it to him as a present. He was happily surprised. The sign hangs in our living room.
