佛羅里達(dá)州一對(duì)夫婦在婚禮上拋硬幣來(lái)決定跟誰(shuí)姓

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

有一對(duì)現(xiàn)代夫婦說(shuō)不準(zhǔn)他們?cè)诮Y(jié)婚時(shí)會(huì)用誰(shuí)的姓。

So they flipped a coin.

所以他們拋了一個(gè)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(dá)西·沃德(Darcy Ward)決定反對(duì)新娘隨新郎姓的傳統(tǒng)。但這對(duì)來(lái)自佛羅里達(dá)州的組合在這一概念上又進(jìn)了一步，他們把決定權(quán)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(zhuǎn)了一塊刻有達(dá)西姓氏和杰夫姓氏的黃銅紀(jì)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(dá)州立大學(xué)經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)的研究生，我考慮的是公平。”杰夫告訴《棕櫚灘郵報(bào)》。

“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(dá)西是一名護(hù)士兼助產(chǎn)士，她補(bǔ)充說(shuō):“和一個(gè)愿意從富有創(chuàng)造力、團(tuán)隊(duì)合作和公平的環(huán)境中開(kāi)始婚姻的人在一起，感覺(jué)真的是邁向平等伙伴關(guān)系的良好開(kāi)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(dá)西的名字勝出。沃德先生和太太對(duì)這個(gè)結(jié)果非常激動(dòng)。

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

“你可以說(shuō)我贏了，”杰夫說(shuō)。“我是那個(gè)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It wasn’t the only way they ditched outdated marriage customs.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(guò)時(shí)婚俗的唯一方式。這兩個(gè)人在Tinder上相識(shí)，并在各自的驚喜中向?qū)Ψ角蠡?達(dá)西尋寶，她單膝跪地;杰夫現(xiàn)場(chǎng)演唱了他們最喜歡的歌曲，樂(lè)隊(duì)的《The Night They Drove Old Dixie down》。
