Checks written in my married name
I have a question regarding gifts? We have received many checks and almost all of them were written to either Mr. & MRs. Married Name or Jennifer & Scott Married Name. I am not changing my name until the spring, we are using my checking account to put all the money into.
Will the banks give me a problem if I try to deposit these into my account, even though it's not my name yet?

Re: Checks written in my married name
Maybe I'll just take it to the bank tomorrow with both of us and see what the bank says. I guess people just thought I'd change my name right away?

Apparently, they do that in NC too! I haven't gotten my NC license yet, but Rich did--and he had to wait for it in the mail. I've never heard of that before!
This is a belated married bio, with no reviews yet because I'm lazy.
Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284

Oh! Ok at least we are not the ONLY state! I never knew that they did that in other states until my BFF moved to AZ and told me :)

I cashed some checks with my married name BEFORE the wedding...and just signed them as usual and then my new last name after it. The bank didn't even question it.
It might help I know most of the tellers
