So, I want our officiant to announce us for the first time as,
"Mr. Fiance's First Name Last Name and Mrs. My First Name Maiden Name and New Last Name" or have it swapped and have me first and then FH's.
However, I am getting a lot of crap from his side of the family. My parents support me 100 percent, but I'm not sure if it is too wordy. When my mom mentioned having my maiden name in the introduction, my FMIL said "Stopppp. I regret hyphening mine." Like, what? She is divorced and it wasn't a pleasant separation (like most of them). And then she said, "She's (my mother) gonna hold onto you as long as she can."
I'm still deciding if I'm having my maiden name as my middle name, hyphenating it or just having two last names. None of my fiance's father's family is evening coming to the family. Is this too wordy? Who is keeping their maiden name or hyphenating theirs? I don't want to get crap for the rest of my life and have all this confusion. I want to have two last names but will probably default and just use his when introducing myself. Is it even possible to just have two last names and have no hyphen?
