MIABRIDENTAMPA · May 2010

missrekaeagle · May 2010

When we first started dating lol. I knew when I met him that he was the "one."

adgenya · May 2010

I've been trying to create my signature and I can't create one that I like. I love my current one.

smooth84 · May 2010

Because of this post I just tried...quite hard...I need to get on it!

KSTURGIS · May 2010

I havent yet. lol. So sad

TysWife2Be · May 2010

You would think that going from a P to a B wouldnt be hard BUT that extra hump that it has is NOT the business...

I have tried and cant come up with something that I like...LoL!

<div>Ditto! And for this reason, I just wanna hyphenate and when I do my signature, add the initial of his last name to the end! lol</div>

TysWife - we are switching places - I have to go from a B to a P

Dollbaby357 · May 2010

I haven't tried but maybe I should try considering our wedding is right around the corner...LOL!

kkidd28 · May 2010

I feel like I'm in high school - I just started practicing this week! I really pulled out a notebook and I practice my new name like I'm a high school girl stalking her crush - lol!

mandikaykay · May 2010

Umm, I'm going to have to work something out soon. I've got 16 days to get it together. I'm like a elementary school kid learning cursive for the first time. I can see trying to sign some type of contract and the people being like, "Excuse me ma'am, but you do know your name?"

TAGSSKEE1 · May 2010

Love everyone's post, I've been practicing in the past few days and I feel like kkidd28, like I'm in high school crushing on the star football player, creating funny feeling in stomach, but I am ready to go from the end of the line 'W' to 'H', besides 'whitaker-harris' would be just too dang long.

sade&chris · May 2010

i just did it. i have to get used to it. it looks weird b/c my first name is twice as long as my soon to be last name

TrueBella · May 2010

i just started practicing recently. luckily its not so hard to write and its short and manageable. i like it

chayb87 · May 2010

I haven't practiced at all, maybe I should start. I'm going from a B to an H so it's gonna take some getting used to

ladylum · May 2010

Loving the posts! I'm married and I still write my name and then realize I forgot to add my married name! It is taking some getting used to!

TwinsRib · May 2010

I've just started practicing... I am going from a J to an I and the execution is way harder than I thought it would be. Plus, I don't know if I like the way it looks... So now I'm tihinking about hyphenating... maybe I just need to get used to hearing/saying/writing it lol.

KMB611 · May 2010

I'm going from B to W *sigh*. I oftentimes find myself doodling it out during meetings at work. I try it with using my maiden as my last name, hyphenating maiden and married, and using dropping maiden name altogether.

PB-Bride2010 · May 2010

I been practicing and I'm not good at all. I will need more practice to make a my signature name.

Mypasmita · May 2010

I haven't practiced yet. I guess I am in denial. LOL!

prncsz · May 2010

I was practicing before we got engaged and have a couple of times since we got engaged! It's on a scraps of paper somewhere. I'm sure it'll probably turn up when I get ready to move in just before we get married and he's going to say "AWEEEEE"

kikibird · May 2010

I am still struggling with this and have been married three weeks! And not just with writing it, but saying it as well. I introduced myself using my maiden name today, and then remembered and introduced myself to someone else a few minutes later with my new name. People are going to think I've got a split personality or something. The United States of Erica, lol.

I need way more practice with my signature too. It's not smooth at all right now.

JKeyes2011 · May 2010

I have been writing his name with mine since we started dating like a little girl with a crush. I don't plan on changing my signature because I don't write my last name when I sign things. I write just a J and then random scribbles.
