Re: having a hard time
Sorry B - I hear you!I never thought twice about changing my name when I got married but when it was time to actually go ahead and start the process it made me sad
It can be a really odd/strange/kinda emotional thing....to change your identity!
I started the process and never finished....total half @ss job! I also have to get a new license soon....gonna change over bc I changed my ssn and my name at work....

Re: having a hard time
I am totally struggling with this too. It's a lot harder to mentally grasp than I thought it would be.

Re: having a hard time
I had a hard time with the thought of changing my name. My DH really wanted me to.I changed it right away, but I am still not used to it! actually my DH introduced me the other day as Marie 'old last name' and I just laughed!
because I always use my old last name even thought I have a new one. I find the whole name thing the most difficult thing to get used to.
I was marie p_____________ or 30 years and now I'm marie s_________________
