I'm all for a woman proposing and I am all for husbands taking the wife's last name if it works for them.
We're living in a progressive society and this trend embodies exactly that.
Why not take your partner's last name; especially if like in the case of Ms Saldana, her last name is more powerful than her husband's (maiden, lol) name?
So what do you think? Would you embrace this trend?
Ladies, would you propose to your man - and gents would you say yes and take her surname?
