Because we have too much time on our hands, that's why! Ever wondered how many people in the U.S. have your same name? From now on, any time someone asks me why I changed my name when I got married, I'll direct them to this site:
Just for the record, there are 7,791 people in the U.S. named Sarah Smith, and I can tell you from my early attempts at qualifying for credit cards that some of them have very, very bad credit (this was way back when bad credit actually kept you from getting more cards). Also, they apparently hang out at bars a lot and give strange men their names but not their phone numbers, leading these strange men to look through the phone book the next day and start placing pathetic calls asking "Is this the Sarah Smith I met at the club last night?" Uh, no.
And so when Jeff and I married, I went WAY outside my belief system and decided to become Sarah Nessel. And it worked! Apparently, there is only one person (yours truly!) named Sarah Nessel.
But if you're thinking of addressing any formal invitations to me (granted, this is unlikely!) please note that there is NO person named "Mrs. Jeffrey Nessel." Don't even get me started!
