I was given some checks before our wedding next month from people who can't attend. Some are made out to my first name, his first name, his last name. So obviously that is not yet my name. I had him sign them, me sign with my current name and new name underneath, and wrote 'For deposit only.' I went to the bank and they said I can't put in any checks made out to the couple with the married name UNTIL WE GET THE MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE IN THE MAIL! That will be months after the wedding! How did your bank handle this? I use the Bank of NY but am thinking of switching just because of this!
We deposited all our checks the day after the wedding. They were made out to all kinds of crazy names!! I signed them all, even ones mad out to him (and I am not changing my name) and had no problem depositing. This was with Astoria Federal....
