Its still pretty common in wedding services to announce the couple as “Mr and Mrs [Man Name]”. Even seen it when the bride isnt taking the husbands surname.
About a year after I got married, my buddy Spider was over for dinner.
We were in the kitchen doing prep as a group, because it’s fun. Spider, being a fuckwit, decides to start calling my wife Mrs Sasquatch (sasquatch being one of my nicknames).
She glared at him the first time and said “I have even less body hair than you, Mr I wish I was cool”
Which got plenty of laughter all around.
By the fifth or sixth time, Spider had run the joke into the ground as usual. He asks if Mrs Squatch could hand him the eggs. So she did. Right to the face.
Which got plenty of laughter all around tbh. Spider may be a twat, but he takes as well as he dishes out.
Used to be wives were referred to as “Mrs. (Husband’s Name)”.
Though I’d think anyone calling my wife “Mrs. jordanlund” would be swiftly killed and nobody would find the body.

My partner and I hate it as well.

I call my wife Mrs Bizzle all the time, she hates it
That’s still a thing although it’s a dated practice and I only ever see it in very specific formal situations (wedding invites, obituaries, etc.)
