==Bonded Verbs==
Not everyone wants the extra mushy messaging of some of the verbs when they get bonded, so there's a {{com|toggle}} {{tt|bond}} tool to folks to decide which they keep and which they don't. If EITHER person in the bond toggles a verb off, it will use the default / non-bonded messaging.<ref>[[Post:Tuesday Tidings - 159 - Bonded Verbs - 03/07/2023 - 20:18]]</ref> (Note that not ALL verbs have been updated to use this yet.)

==Surnames==
GM Wedding Rings also allow a couple bonded by a [[Item:Saemaus' kiss rose|kiss rose]] to adjust their surname as follows:
*{{com|turn}} will toggle your displayed last name between the two hyphenated versions, and your spouse's last name.
*{{com|tap}} will toggle between your last name, and whichever option you last used from Turn.

For example, if your last name is A and your spouse's last name is B:
*{{com|turn}} will toggle between A-B, B-A, and B.
*:'''Note:''' Will only work if your spouse is logged into the game.
*{{com|tap}} will toggle between your selection above (of A-B, B-A, or B) and A.
