Hi there! I’ve posted about this before but I am still hung up on this situation so I want to see if anyone had any other thoughts...
I had a minimony last fall and the “big wedding” is set for this fall. I am planning to take my husbands last name but have not changed it yet. I am getting hung up on the idea of having the same last name for our wedding this year. Like somehow it won’t feel like my wedding because I already changed my name. Anyone else have this worry? Are there any aspects of the wedding that would be different if we already share the same last name? Can I just use our first names for the invitations?
It’s like I have this fear that if my name is changed the day won’t feel as special. It’s like I still don’t feel married because we had a quick ceremony and that was that. And I think when I change my name I will “feel married”’but I don’t want that to take away from my wedding day (I still want it to feel like my wedding even though we are legally married). This sounds ridiculous as I’m typing it and I know deep down it’s such a little thing. Any thoughts are appreciated.
