Re: name changed?
If you want to change your last name to your husband's it is totally up to you.
Many women don't take their husband's names for many reasons - such as they are professional known by their maiden name.
If you want to change your name to his, you will need to take a copy of your marriage license to social security, TX driver's license office, bank, etc.
Congratulations! I hope you never need a divorce lawyer!
