I've read quite a few questions about changing ones name after the wedding, but I have yet to find anyone ask mine. So here goes...
My fiance doesn't care for his last name, and to be honest, neither do I. My family thinks it's wierd for him to take my name. So we gave it some thought and we want to take on a whole new Surname for our new family of two (with more to come down the road).
So regarding all this name changing... Should we be putting our new name on the Marriage Certificate? Should we be introduced as Mr. & Mrs. Newname? In a room full of family members on either side, I don't know how well that will go over. And we don't want them focusing on the shock of it during the reception.
What does everyone think? What's the legal route?
