Changing Last Name?

So we’ve been married a little over a week and I am back and forth with this name change. I went into this wanting to hyphenate my last name instead of changing it completely. I like my last name. What is your reasoning for wanting to change your last name?

    I have an apostrophe in my last name, that has pretty much made my life harder in many instances. Such as medical records, my certifications, my drivers license. No one can ever find me and it bothers me that my last name is spelled wrong because a system doesn’t allow special characters.
    3 weeks after the wedding, I have a new last name with no special characters and I am so happy.
