Changing Names...

We are going to get our marriage license tomorrow and I realized I need to make a decision for whether or not to change my mind to take FH's.
I am considering either hyphenating or taking his name.

Anyone have any info on the pros and cons of each option.

Also if anyone has any insight into how the name change works with professional licenses that would be helpful too! Thanks

I think its a totally personal decision so I hope you can make the decision that is right for you!!

Everyone has different beliefs on it - I for one, am extremely opposed to taking FH's name, I think that its extremely sexist and outdated, I get sad at weddings when they say 'Mr. and Mrs. So and So', I feel its like the bride ceases to exist as her own person. But that's just my opinionated view!

I took my husband's name...I wanted to!

I hyphenated. I couldn't completely part with my last name but wanted his as well.
