Kind of hard to provide a lot of details with out telling the entire world who I am. Both last names are not run of the mill.
Ahh screw it, stalk me if you will… If I were to go by both last names I would be a Chestnut-Mess.

When my aunt Ina Chestnut passed away, the vault company misspelled her name. If she is ever dug up everyone will know just what she was.
IMA CHESTNUT.
No I am not kidding at all.
I used to get tech support calls for a woman who insisted on using her hyphenated name. She would get angry if we called her anything other than Ms. Gaye-Mann.

So, they’re not supposed to get married because their names coincidentally form some risible combination?

I just find it strange people still bother with newspaper wedding announcements.
Can you elaborate, RickJay? I’m not grasping how this comment relates to what you’ve quoted from my previous post.

Heh. She’s a real Cox-Tucker. theater in a crowded fire, please don’t tell me that she speaks with a lisp.
This thread is the only successful antidote to a very long, very stressful day. Thanks, everyone! 
When I was studying for a big stats exam, the guy I was studying with turned to me and said, “Mann, Whitney, U smell rank!”
(The Mann-Whitney U is a rank-sum test.)

A friend once forwarded me a real wedding announcement. The union of Mann and Whitney.
Stats geeks will find this amusing.

That is funny!
But if it had been the marriage of Mann and Dogg, ex-Senator Santorum might have actually been right about something!

My wife was a Peters. I am a Payne. Hypenating would have created a urological symptom.

My best friend is a Payne … erm, you get my meaning. I’ll have to ask what his sister-in-law’s maiden name was.

Actually, my ex and I skipped this for precisely this reason. I have a last name that lends itself to pretty well to these sorts of gags.
I’ve always been kind of amused by Sir Gregory Page-Turner.
Crapp-Beer has to be my new favourite though. That’s just beautiful.
I saw an article on this topic once before, and one of the announcements they depicted was Main-Lay. And for some reason the announcement photo only showed the bride.
Well they did it, even thought I asked them not to post it that way.

Doesn’t Jay Leno still do these on the Tonight Show?
My favorite was the Long-Johnson wedding.

Those dickens. 
But here’s wishing you much happiness.
I pity the child in my son’s nursery class who goes by the name of Swallow-Koch. I mean, what are these people thinking? :smack:
When I lived in Wyoming, it is traditional for women to hyphenate teir names.
There was one woman who ephatically insisted she will hyphenate her name and looked dispargingly on those who didn’t.
Then she met her husband… Duane Fisher. Her name was Virginia Fish.
She didn’t hyphenate
