I was reading A Cup of Jo the other day and came across a topic she discussed entitled "Should a woman be legally required to take her husband's last name when they get married?", and it made me realize a lot of you might not know how I got my last name which is also the title of this blog. Ben and I decided to combine our last names. We took the first four letters from his last name "Linder"and the last four of mine "Brunello".......
.............
(Lind)er + Brun(ello)= Lindello!

A lot of people always ask "is that legal?", "what did your families think?!"
Yes its legal and our families thought we we're kidding at first, but when they found out it was for reals, they liked it! Ben had thought of the idea a long time ago and we always had it in the back of our heads. When it was time to marry we both just thought lets do it! Our other option was "Brunder" which doesn't really roll off the tongue and sounds like the name of a mean pitbull.
