Honeymoon and passport

this may be a silly question.. but what do I do about my name changing on my passport and going on a honeymoon? What am I supposed to do about this? Thank you!

You don't... if you are going on your honeymoon right away, you won't be able to legally change your name until you get back.

I don't think you need to worry about it. I mean, I'm not changing my name officially until I get back from the honeymoon. So as long as you aren't changing it officially, you should be fine for your honeymoon.

Plus your name on your tickets and on your ID and passport all has to match, don't forget.

So on my marriage license do I have to decline changing my name? I really have no idea how this works! haha. I want to change my name.. but I dont want any trouble.and I can wait to change my name for a few weeks till after...thanks girls!

I didn't even think of that... I don't know if your name is legally changed at that point though. Regardless, even if you say no for now you can always change it later, I'd imagine!

Hmm I didnt think about this either. But I think we are all thinking too into it. Your license/passport/plane tickets....all have to have the same name. They aren't going to look at your marriage license.

No you can do it on your license, but you will NOT change your drivers license, passport, etc based on your marriage license until you return.

Your name (and name on passport, etc) will NOT be changed until you return
