   @pumpkinsandturkeys If you renew your passport under your maiden and if you get married and change your name within a year, you don't have to pay to change your name on your passport. I just read that yesterday. Name Changes If your name has legally changed through marriage, divorce, or a court ordered change of name, you…

   @HisGirlFriday13 -- Ugh, what a pain. Been there, done that. I legally changed my surname at 12 to my (step)dad's last name, and it was the biggest PITA. Changing Social Insurance, Provincial Health Card, reissuing my birth certificate... Yuck. I still have issues at times with this. When I was 18, I had to confirm my…

   My passport expires the day after we return from our honeymoon, so I have no choice but to renew it under my maiden name ahead of time -- joy. I don't think I could stand another 5 years with my maiden name while married, and all of my ID has to match, sooo... I get to suck up the cost of 2 renewals in one year, plus…

   Because they'd already booked their tickets and had passports in her maiden name, apparently. But I didn't legally change my name for like, three weeks, after we got married, just because I had to wait for the paperwork and whatever, so it's not like they couldn't have done it the other way, but it's still rude.

   Agreed! I did not get my marriage cert for 4 months after my wedding. I traveled a few times in those 4 months under my previous name. The tickets just have to match the passport. If you don't bother to change your passport, then it's non-situation. On another note, I didn't know about the 90 day residency requirement.…

   I think the bride threw that excuse up in a half-hearted attempt to make people not hate her, because it makes NO sense. Hell, my passport is still in my maiden name, almost four months after my marriage. (I am lazy and cheap and I'm not changing that until I have to). Cousin said her DH is so hurt, though. He was Groom's…
