佛羅里達州一對夫婦在婚禮上拋硬幣來決定跟誰姓

佛羅里達州一對夫婦在婚禮上拋硬幣來決定跟誰姓

One modern couple couldn’t make heads or tails of whose last name they’d use upon getting married.

有一對現(xiàn)代夫婦說不準他們在結婚時會用誰的姓。

So they flipped a coin.

所以他們拋了一個硬幣。

Jeff Conley and Darcy Ward decided against the tradition of the bride taking the groom’s last name in the name of equality. But the Florida duo took the concept a step further by leaving the decision to 50-50 chance.

杰夫·康利(Jeff Conley)和達西·沃德(Darcy Ward)決定反對新娘隨新郎姓的傳統(tǒng)。但這對來自佛羅里達州的組合在這一概念上又進了一步，他們把決定權留給了50%的幾率。

At the altar of their Dec. 14 wedding, they flipped a brass, engraved medallion, one side with Darcy’s last name, and the other with Jeff’s surname.

在他們12月14日的婚禮上，他們翻轉了一塊刻有達西姓氏和杰夫姓氏的黃銅紀念章。

“It’s fair. I am a graduate student in economics at Florida State and I think about fairness,” Jeff told the Palm Beach Post.

“這是公平的。我是佛羅里達州立大學經濟學的研究生，我考慮的是公平。”杰夫告訴《棕櫚灘郵報》。

“Being with someone who was willing to start the marriage from a creative and teamwork and fair place felt like a really good first step toward an equal partnership,” Darcy, a nurse-midwife, added.

達西是一名護士兼助產士，她補充說:“和一個愿意從富有創(chuàng)造力、團隊合作和公平的環(huán)境中開始婚姻的人在一起，感覺真的是邁向平等伙伴關系的良好開端。”

When the time came, it was Darcy’s name that won out. Mr. and Mrs. Ward were thrilled with the result.

最后，達西的名字勝出。沃德先生和太太對這個結果非常激動。

“You could say I won,” Jeff said. “I was the one who received something new.”

“你可以說我贏了，”杰夫說。“我是那個得到新東西的人。”

It wasn’t the only way they ditched outdated marriage customs. The two, who met on Tinder, proposed to one another with separate surprises: Darcy with a scavenger hunt — complete with her getting down on one knee — and Jeff with a live musical serenade of their favorite song, The Band’s “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down.”

這并不是他們拋棄過時婚俗的唯一方式。這兩個人在Tinder上相識，并在各自的驚喜中向對方求婚:達西尋寶，她單膝跪地;杰夫現(xiàn)場演唱了他們最喜歡的歌曲，樂隊的《The Night They Drove Old Dixie down》。
