My Chandler Bing Moment

April 25th, 2011 @ 12:54 pm by Mrs. Hyena

“If you’re calling before Saturday, you’ve reached Monica and Chandler, but if you’re calling after Saturday, you’ve reached Mr. and Mrs. Bing! Please leave a message for the Bings!”

Friends, “The One With Monica and Chandler’s Wedding”

My Chandler Bing Moment :  wedding college station legal Cimg11402

From that same episode. I took a picture of my TV since I couldn’t find it anywhere. ^_^ (Image credit: NBC)

I was not expecting this. No sirree. In fact, I’ve talked about changing my name on here before. It’s cool.

But we are not married yet. So when I saw that someone from the church had emailed out a contact list with “Firstname Newlast” instead of “Firstname Currentlast,” I had my own loosen-the-tie moment. (You know. If I’d been wearing one.)

Look, I don’t think my name defines me. I know eventually I’ll change my name. It’s important to Mr. Hyena, so it’s important to me. Maybe it is the fact that all these huge life changes will be happening at the same time. Maybe it was seeing someone else acknowledge the change. But it was too much. So I curled up next to my soon-to-be hubby and let him hold me and reassure me that it will be all right. And it will be.

I love that man.

Have you had any “Chandler Bing” moments? Isn’t it crazy how a show that ended 10 years ago is still so relevant?! :)

Friends ended 10 years ago?? Augh I feel old now. :(

And friends have been calling me by Mr. Toshella’s last name since a month after we started dating. I’m sure I’ll still freak out when it’s official.

Friends = best show ever.

And YES! I never thought it would bother me to change my name, but as the date gets closer and the idea becomes more real, it’s definitely a weird feeling! Glad I’m not the only one!

I love Friends! And I love that I still enjoy watching it after all of these years.

That’s okay, I’m sure I’d react the same as you, especially considering I’m not changing my last name!

We went to a friend’s concert last week and my name was listed on the guest list with my new last name even though it’s not my name yet. It totally weirded me out.

I think Monica should have gone with “Mrs. Chenandler Bong.” Just sayin’. ;)

I STILL catch myself signing and initialing my old name… Sometimes on rather important documents. I smile politely and say it’s just so new to me. I’ve been ‘JD’ for 23 years!

I never miss a Friends re-run. Easily the best show EVER! I am excited to change my last name…is it possible to do this before we get married? ;)
Hahaha @froggy518, classic!

I feel like it’s almost bad luck to use the new name before it’s official. I wanted to get some return address labels but didn’t want to say “The Smiths” because I’m not a Smith yet.

I had the moment 2 minutes ago! I was practicing writing my first name and his last so I could start getting used to it….

I had that moment at my last birthday, when I realized this would be the last b-day I celebrate as Miss ___. Weird, for sure!

Ah yes I had that! A relative of my future husband sent us a wedding save the date addressed to Mr. and Mrs. Hislastname!

SO WEIRD.

I loooove that episode ;) Also, I feel ya—as if getting married isn’t momentous enough (and in your case ALSO moving in with your boo for the first time), throw in a name-change and you’ve got a recipe for a meltdown. I don’t blame ya Hyena—if you’re gonna do it, do it in your own time :) No rush, pretty lady.

My boss is already talking about how we are implementing my new name. Woaaaaah! I’ve still got 30+ days to go, lady.

@Miss Seal: Thanks for the reassurance. :)
@Miss Pain au Chocolat: I hadn’t really even thought about implementing a new name at work! I wonder how that is going to go…

When I saw my wedding vacation time on our work outlook calendar with the new name it looked weird!
