'As a Latina who grew up between Ecuador and the United States, it was evident that I was going against the grain by being unwilling to accept this tradition.'
before my wedding in 2016, one of my fiancé’s extended family members asked me why I was keeping my last name after marriage. We were in a department store, surrounded by gowns and sparkly high heels, and I was jittery in anticipation of the big day.
I emailed back that there would be no change, then shrugged it off, thinking that everyone around me would soon forget about my choice. My family is no exception. When I asked my parents why they immigrated to the United States from Ecuador, I was told it was my father’s decision. Where he decided to go, she’d follow.
it’s always with respect toward my partner. My marriage is made up of two people who make decisions together, compromise, and miscommunicate from time to time. But the name I was given from the day I was born was not up for debate, no matter what anyone thinks about it.Although my husband and I are both Latinx, my paternal last name is a connection to my specific cultural heritage. It reminds me of my grandfather. It’s a piece of him that I always carry with me and that now also represents me.
