Ok this is probably a stupid question, but I am pretty sure I am keeping my last name, and I just started wondering if I will then be Mrs. MyLastname, or Ms. MyLastname? Thanks :)

I would say Ms. Lastname but I really have no idea. Mrs. Lastname would be my mother.

It's really a preference. You can choose either one - Ms. or Mrs.

No you will be Mrs. yourlastname
MRS. just means you are married, and Ms. means you are not married.
I don't know the reason why you want to keep your last name. I hope it is for some type of feminist reason. Men (married and single) are just Mr.
So use whatever you want. I believe the history of MRS. is oppressive to woman. Although I don't mind that woman want to keep with tradition.
I am keeping my last name and referring to myself as Ms. because, believe it or not, I feel like I get better responses from people (work wise) who think I do NOT have a family. Basically, what eveer you feel more comfortable with. The rules are all out the dooor anyway.
But you did inspire me to start a femenist thread. Thanks femenist thread coming soon

Re: If I keep my last name...
ok thanks. I am actually keeping my last name because there is no one left to keep our name going, its an extremely cool last name (always a good conversation started, even though I do hear the same 'jokes' over and over), and my FH is Austrian and I think his last name sounds funny...especially when I say it.
