30 Rock Wedding Announcement

This week's 30 Rock will include Liz and Criss's wedding, so to honor the occasion, we helped the happy couple craft a wedding announcement. Will they really go through with the marriage, or might Ms. Lemon and Mr. Chross back out, like so many Kelly Taylors? We shall see! Until then, at least we have our precious, silly speculation.

lmao Crisstopher Chros. I am gonna miss this show so much. It has seriously been top notch this year, I'm so happy it's going out with a bang at least. Still pressed about only 13 episodes though.

If I get married I'll probably keep my last name too. It would be so weird to have a different last name.

I would too. My name combined with any bfs surnames sound so awful.

ive kept my last name because i'm too lazy to bother with changing it. i don't really care enough to make copies of stuff and hunt down random forms for each place to go by my husbands last name.

i still wish my husband would have gone for combining our last names. mcknitro just sounds bitchin.

I'm conflicted about the changing last name thing

1. There's just me and my sister in this branch of our family so we don't want it to die out

2. the potential last name I could have if I do get hitched with the current bf would be a last name upgrade

3. I have yet to create a professional name for myself so changing it shouldn't' be too much of an issue

4. Unless I make a name for myself in the business world before there's a ring on it...

it's too complicated ugh

I felt the same way. For me, what it came down to was kids. Since we are planning on having them someday, I want my last name to be the same as theirs, so I took my husband's name.

It was a pain in the ass to get it changed, honestly, but I'm glad I did it. I didn't have a professional name yet, so it was fine to change it. And I had a last name that was always mispronounced and misspelled, so it's nice to have an easier, more common name now actually.

Good luck deciding!

I really don't get why people nowadays still change their surnames... Combined names are cute, and of course people are free to take each other's surnames, but because it's mostly women, the tradition doesn't sit well with me.

I think a big problem is that children always get the last name of the father and not having any part of your last name in common with your kids is upsetting and sometimes makes things difficult for dumb school administrations and whatnot.

A survey conducted in 2011 found that 50% of Americans believe that women should be legally required to take their husband's last name upon marriage.

I'm guessing that mentality has something to do with why the vast majority of women in the U.S. do so.

If I got married to a guy who had a more common last name I would definitely change mine. I have had a lifetime of people mispronouncing my last name and it's so annoying. I wish I could have a name like Smith or Jones.

ia with this, but i don't know if it'll ever die as a tradition. my mom never changed her last name, so ppl always just assumed her last name was mine or that she wasn't my mom.

i'm conflicted bc i don't agree with changing names, but i dont have a good relationship with my father so i don't want to keep his name. at the same time, i've had it for so long...who knows

I want to change my last name to my mom's maiden name, and if I get married I'm still keeping it (willing to hyphenate if my partner will as well).

My boyfriend and I have been talking about getting married in the next few years so I've been thinking more and more seriously about this. I REALLY like my last name because it's unique and it just sounds nice in combination with my first name. His last name is fairly common and sounds weird with my first name (but that might be because I'm just not used to it). If we combine our last names it would just be too long.

idk, I'd probably end up changing it, although I might wait until a few years after I'm married.

I've kept my last name. I've got an awesome last name that people have called me throughout my life. My husband will even call me by it. I love my name.

On the flipside, my husband has a long, difficult to spell last name that no one--and I mean even member of his own family--have a hard time pronouncing. Regular folks who see it for the first time don't stand a chance.

My daughter has her father's last name, and now that there's three of us, I've started to think about changing it (more like hyphenating it) so as to not be the lone one out. But that name...

The dad of a friend of mine when I was a kid was named Chris Cross. Ha.

I like what my mom did. When she got married she didn't change her last name (not like she was super established in the professional world, just didn't want to) and my sister and I both have her maiden name as our middle names and our father's last name.

The only downside to this is that when a security question is automatically set to "What is your mother's maiden name?" it really isn't secure because it's public knowledge and you know, part of my own name.
