Yours or his? LOL

Just joking. I know of a few guys who took the last name of the lovely bride and one of those I actually agreed with because of the baggage associated with his name.

Would it have to be a UPC church?

Don't try to control the other person.
Let them be who they are and love them completely as they are.
Go on regular dates.
Appreciate quirks instead of letting them annoy you.
Respect and serve one another in love.
Bite your tongue more than you speak your mind, and never embarrass or shame your spouse in public.
Don't put your spouse down to your friends or family.
Keep disagreements as private as possible, because the two of you will make up, but friends and family will remember.
Lots of hugs and kisses.
Have a sense of humor.

I've been married "forever" and these are good basic concepts to live by.

( can't say I've always followed these words of wisdom )

I meant, would you soon-to-be husband have to go to a UPC church or would you be happy that he goes to any church (barring some slow boring Lutheran or Methodist one)?

I am betting that it would be the first apostolic church with a choir that does gregorian chants.

That I'd like to see. Especially with "swaying".
