Oh man. It took me a whole year after we got married to convince my own family to stop addressing stuff to us as "Mr. & Mrs. Hickey." You'd think my mom would've been pleased that I kept the name I share with my parents, but it just isn't the Done Thing to keep one's "maiden" name (or, as I like to think of it, my name).
(I don't like being called "Mrs" either, speaking of them getting my name wrong. But titles are pretty irrelevant to me: I can't get my GP surgery to stop calling me "Miss" and once Andrew bought me a plane ticket for Mr. Holly (he'd apparently never noticed the drop-down box in web forms asking for a title, since the default is always the one he wants). I think (compulsory) titles are a stupid thing, but that's a rant for another day.)
