Good question. This really more of an etiquette question than a grammar question, but it is still standard for the husband’s name to come first, so “Mr. Adam and the Honorable Anna Mae Smith” is the most standard in a formal
presentation. Occasionally there may be office practice or specific situations which call for something different.
