I'm Chinese, and he's not.

I am Chinese, and my husband is not.

So, I wonder why people, who send event invites to my husband and me, don’t bother trying to find out what my husband’s name is. They just address them to Mr. and Mrs. “MDub.” I think that’s lazy and a little bit rude. And it kind of bugs me.

When I married the Taz, I made a decision to not change my last name. I know that it's pretty common for women to keep their own name, so I didn't feel weird about it. And my new hubs didn't care. I just wanted to stay me. I like being Chinese, and I like my Chinese name. That’s pretty simple, eh?

The thing is that my husband is not Chinese; he doesn’t look Chinese; and he would never be mistaken for Chinese. I'm pretty sure that he's happy who he is too, which is French-Swiss-Canadian, or something like that. To date, everyone I know, who has ever met him, can tell that he is not Chinese. So, I’m fairly confident that no one thinks he’s an MDub. And since it is NOT common for a man to change his last name to his new wife's name, don't you think people should ask? So, why would someone address the invite to Mr. And Mrs. MDub? Why wouldn’t someone take the 60 seconds to make a call to find out what his name is … especially if they want us to attend their event?

Like I said, it kind of bugs me.
