Name changing question

What if I changed my name on the wedding license but never change it from my drivers license or my ss? Would anything happen? I'm just curious.

I dont think anything happens because the marriage certificate doesnt legally change your name unless you go and get it done. I've been married almost a year and havent changed my name yet - but my marriage certificate has DH's name on it.

that is true. the license doesn't change anything. you have to make the changes yourself to SSN, driver's license, etc.

YEAH! so when my FH and I go to the town to get the marriage license I just use his name and never really change it! Oh I'm so happy. This just saved me a huge fight!
