When my husband and I were getting married, I put an engagement announcement in the Bainbridge Post Searchlight...or at least I thought I did. When I read the paper, they actually changed the order of my husband's name. When I called to tell the editor about this, she explained to me that there was no way that my husband's name could be in that order and she was not changing it cause as far as she was concerned it was not a typo. I contacted Emily Post and sent the letter I received back to the Post Searchlight, the editor again refused to change it in the paper. I can't believe a paper would actually tell me how to spell my name and what order it can be in PROPERLY...come on!
