Bride Is Truly Boring; Groom Will Cary On

She considers herself the life of any party, but everyone knows she is Truly Boring.

She wasn’t always. But on Sept. 17, Truly Gold, 24, of Huntington Beach tied the knot with Cary S. Boring, 27, of Balboa Island and legally took his name.

“Now, people are already coming up with names for children we could have,” the new bride said, adding that the most suggested monikers include “Really, Very and Totally.”

Although her family thinks the union of names is “hysterical,” Truly is having a little trouble getting used to the idea.

The young retail merchandise coordinator, who prefers to go by Truly Gold Boring, said she once considered changing her new last name or even adding a strategically placed accent to avoid some embarrassment. Mr. Boring, Truly says, has never even considered a name change.

“I can just imagine what our kids’ friends might say years from now: ‘Do we have to go to the Boring house?’ ”

Long before last month’s wedding, Truly truly had some time to consider the possibilities. In fact, on the couple’s first date five years ago, when both were students at Cal State Chico, they joked about how a marriage could make her identity a lifetime of laughs.

When the two began dating seriously, jokes about a possible marriage became the subjects of whispered jokes on campus.

“We would be standing right there, and people would be laughing about the names,” she said. “It really was a small campus.

“I’m really not boring,” said Truly Boring. “I can be the life of any party.”
