    I assume because marriage requires a lot of documentation and an official process, whereas my name change only required my friends to sign a document I made.

      Marriage requires a license and an officiant. Name change often requires a hearing and publication in a newspaper. So, no, you’re wrong.

            Did I say it was? I said “I assume”, and “my name change”, not hard to read one sentence.

              Your name change, which took place in an entirely different country than where this all occurred… and you assume it was the same process, then you get mouthy with the guy who corrected you…

              You sure you’re from the UK? You sound more like an American twat.

                Yes, mine, which I was very clear about. I said “I assume”, which seemed like a nice and fair enough caveat. The guy who “corrected” my experience? Yeah okay. Said “No, you’re wrong” to my own experience is just being a knob.

                I really don’t care what you think.

            You missed the part were I said “my name change”. I have no idea about Ohio, and you didn’t seek to give clarification, you just responded like a prick.
