I'm a bit confused about the whole name changing thing.
My initial plan was to be known as MrsDH but to keep everything in my maiden name - bank accounts/passport etc just because changing every thing over is such a faff and also because I still want to keep my old name (double barrel wouldn't work as both surnames are too long). Now I'm not sure whether this would work as I'd possibly be giving my name as MrsDH and then producing a bank card/cheque/ID with my maiden name on. aaargggh! I really like the idea of "legally" still being "me" but having DHsurname for everyday use ... booked under the name of Mr and Mrs DHsurname (it's also dd surname) etc.
I can't decide what to do.
Now I am flapping about signing the register at the wedding - do I have to have made a decision by then? do I sign in my maiden name and then my married name or just my married name. I have no idea about what it actually is that I am going to be signing!
Can anyone give any advice or been through similar dilemma?
