It's really not a big deal. Relax.

You signed correctly. The marriage license shows both names - your maiden one, and your new one (it comes after his).

You gots da post-wedding jitters.

It's so neat, isn't it?? Mrs... wife... spouse...

*happy sigh*

It is...yes.

I was horribly torn over whether I was going to change my name or not. On the one hand, life will be smoother if our names match. On the other hand, it's *my* name and why shouldn't I keep it?

It's been 12 years now and I'm still secondguessing the decision.

Well- the license change was handled successfully- now the SSN and the two major things are done.

Already changed credit cards, insurance and chiropractor records

....but there is yet more to do. Gah!

Changing your name is very time consuming! The SSN and the driver's license are the ones that matter because they help to verify your new name for everything else that you need to change. (Gah! That is a mighty long sentence!) I had to change my name once when I just got married... and then 5 years later when we got divorced!

Hmm... that is just the opposite of Susan's experience. She said it was a breeze for her and didn't take any time at all.

Granted, that was 11 years ago, so things probably have changed.

What was her name before it was Susan

Inquiring minds want to know.
