This may or may not sound crazy but I really like the last name change/unification. In my opinion for a marriage to actually work both people must abandon their former self-driven personalities and become in a sense, one person. The melding of the last name is legal just like the financial, physical, and emotional ties become. Now whether or not the man's name replaces the female or they combine or in the case of gay relationships one chooses over the other etc. doesn't matter to me at all. As the commitment deepens so should the ties and thus the names as well.
