“What do you mean you don’t want to change your surname?” – my mother-in-law shouted across the Registry Office
Ella never planned on getting married. But at 19 she found herself expecting a child with her classmate, whom she had been seeing for three years. She felt she had no choice – she didn’t want her baby to grow up without a father.
Even though he was older, he was immature and a total mummy’s boy. He didn’t run from responsibility, though – he agreed they should marry and raise the baby together. So, wedding preparations began.
Ella would have been content to just tie the knot quietly, but the families insisted on a big, lavish do. She couldn’t understand why they’d spend a fortune on guests when that money could buy essentials for their baby. No one listened.

The marriage only lasted a few years. John turned out to be a useless husband and an even worse dad. Every weekend, he sat glued to his computer, ignoring his family. When Ella’s patience finally ran out, she packed her bags and left.
Her mother-in-law wasn’t happy about it. But our heroine breathed a sigh of relief—at last, she felt free and truly happy. Why on earth wont you take his surname?! hissed my mother-in-law, her voice echoing through the marble
