Our marriage is useful in that my family now all has the same surname, but that could have been achieved with a deed poll name change & I indeed, Kate had a different surname to me for the first 2 years of her life. At school, I am called Mrs Blight as it's Kate's surname, would they still call me that if I was still Anna Roberts?

This year, Andy & I will have been a couple for 8 years & married for 4, yet the outside acknowledged celebration will be our wedding anniversary. The 8 years of being together is for meaningful for me, plus Kate is going to be 6 in March, so again, it is more meaningful that my eldest child has been with us for 6 years.
