minus-squarejordanlund@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up10·5 months agoUsed to be wives were referred to as “Mrs. (Husband’s Name)”. Though I’d think anyone calling my wife “Mrs. jordanlund” would be swiftly killed and nobody would find the body.
minus-squareCameronDev@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up11·5 months agoIts still pretty common in wedding services to announce the couple as “Mr and Mrs [Man Name]”. Even seen it when the bride isnt taking the husbands surname. My partner and I hate it as well.
