And for once, it's not "OMG should gays be able to get married" or anything!

I'm just wondering, and hoping for some insight from people in the know, who takes whose surname? Does either of them change, or do they swap, or what?

Just kinda curious, wondering what people's experience has been.

i dunno but i think in germany you can either keep your name, one can take a double name, both can double or you can take either of both surnames. just like straight couples.

Oh I know, I'm just wondering what "the done thing" is. Straight couples can choose to keep their maiden names or whatever, but if you don't choose to do that, the woman takes the man's name by default (I think; I don't actually know whether they ask you when you get married). With gays you wouldn't necessarily be able to do that.

I'd like to think that the registrar just has to try and guess which one is the "man".

oh damn that's what i was going to say now

Well, it's always fun. I do it with my friends all the time; you pick two people at random and try and figure out what they'd do in the sack. FUN FUN FUN.
