Wedding ceremony introduction of couple - one spouse is a doctor?

It's up to you. A friend who is a Dr (dentist) decided when she got married to have the officiant announce them as Mr. & Mrs. Her mother wanted her to be announced as Mr. & Dr. but she decided how she wanted to be announced.

I agree, it's up to you. You should be very proud of achieving becoming a doctor, but if you like the ring of "Mr. and Mrs. ___" better, you can always do that

I personally think "mr and mrs" just sounds better after a ceremony because "mrs" is for a married woman and it just shows the change. I was introduced with my husband's last name, eventhough I won't actually take his last name. I don't think it needs to be a big deal but it's up to you at the end of the day.

Up to you, but I would totally do Mr. And Dr. _____. It sounds awesome!

Btw your avatar is so cute. I have a pit who looks similar to the one in the picture.

I'm a doctor, and not changing my name, but socially and for the end of our ceremony, I'm fine with Mr. and Mrs. ________. Because it doesn't make sense in the setting of the wedding ceremony to introduce us as Mr. FH first name/last name and Dr. my first name/last name, seeing as how that's exactly who we are now. And I will not be referred to as Dr. hislastname because I'm not changing my name professionally.

I am also a doctor and have thought a lot about this as well as changing my name. My friend (recently married doctor) made a comment that really stuck with me. She said that this ceremony is not a celebration of our professional accolades, but rather our relationship. So for that reason, she chose to be introduced as Mrs.

Also, on our return labels we just had our names, no Dr or Mrs/Mr.

I think it comes down to how you want to be identified on that day. For me, I am often identified as Dr., so I am looking forward to being a Mrs. for an evening. That being said, my professional name will not change. Hope this helps!

We split the difference. At the end of the ceremony, we did Mr. and Mrs. At the reception entrance, we did Dr. and Mrs. We felt like in the context of the ceremony, Mr. and Mrs. was a stronger statement of union, but it's not how we'd be introduced normally for social events like the reception.

I think Megan nailed it, but I don't normally introduce my couples at the end; I leave that for the DJ or band leader when the couple is introduced at the reception. I end with the kiss...

I would personally do mr and mrs. (But I'm no doctor, obviously). I don't know you an all, but if someone did this I may roll my eyes that someone wanted everyone to know they were a doctor- but that's just because I've only heard Mr. and Mrs. at that point. One wedding I went to where the bride didn't change her name they said now introducing for the first time, Mr. Smith and Mrs. Williams. Sure mrs. is different, but I just personally wouldn't even have that announcement if I wasn't changing my name. I guess I'm old school, just my opinion!

What @jnissa said ^^^

Like Celia, I don't usually introduce my couples -- unless they specifically ask me to and specifically tell me how they want to be introduced.

I don't assume that she's taking his last name.

I hate introducing them as Mr. & Mrs. John Smith (she just lost her first name and last name!).

You could always drop the titles and be introduced as "john and Jane smith"

"Let me introduce for the very first time as Mr. & Mrs. -- John Smith & Jane Jones-Smith."

I guess go with what you want

If you choose to use your tittle, the Dr. Is announced first Dr. Jane and Mr. John Doe. I say go for it, you earned your title. But it's your choice. Our minister kept asking off If I was sure that I wanted to be announced as Mr. and Mrs. John Doe. I personally like the tradition in ceremony if no where else. If I had a Dr. Title it might have been different

Mr. and Mrs all the way for your wedding day.
