not that Athana is unhappy taking Revan's last name but I'm just curious to how it works...

does the female always take the male's last name? if so how does it work with same gender couples? or is it just the person who makes the initial proposal?

but I still think you should get the choice of keeping your maiden name or make your spouse take yours. tongue.gif

Those who propose tend to get the name rights - but I suppose it could depend on personal choice and family...

For the family history we are writing up, it's Matriarchal. :3

If both people have founded families, whoever is proposed -to- gives up their family name, all ties to their family and takes on the surname of the person they marry. Also, not that Athana and Revan will ever get divorced, but as it is now, if they do, Athana won't get her founded family name back, nor her family. It sucks. Don't get divorced.

Are you sure? I got it back when I divorced Shiro. but we were the ones who founded the family...so maybe its different that way? hmm

Absolutely positive. Athana will not get founder status back, will lose her sister, and be without a family if there's a divorce. It's a bug, it's supposed to be fixed... someday.

If they get divorced, Athana returns to her family name unless she actually rejected her family before she got married. If it doesn't work like that, it's a bug.
Niara2005-04-13 20:19:56
Evil Revan even blamed me of disowning Athana....he's so mean.
Revan2005-04-13 20:26:40
Dude, Athana told me that you disowned her. What was I supposed to think? I have no idea how this stuff works =p You're still mah sister in-law~
Unknown2005-04-13 20:28:09
I'm glad Revan took Athana away from Shiro tongue.gif
Richter2005-04-13 20:33:22
Now if only we could take Lusternia away from him too. *hum*

Still trying to figure out if I can get rid of Aris, get bloodbonded to Murphy, and -then- marry.

Making her lose her last name, muha.
Jack2005-04-13 20:34:52
Aww, why get rid of Aris?

...

... Wait, silly question.
Richter2005-04-13 20:45:51
He's inactive/not my age.

Think Murphy bloodbonded to Richter. Max age. Richter marries Yukari, also max age. Maaaaaybe we'll convince Murphy to marry Yuniko.

That's the start of great house Carthan baby.
