8 Realizations You’ll Have When Changing Your Last Name
So, you just tied the knot — congratulations! Sort of. Because if you're planning to change your name, you're also about to embark on a process that can be a total pain (even though ultimately, it's got some nice perks too).
Here are eight realizations you'll most definitely have while riding the roller coaster of legally switching up your surname.
1. When you pull #207 at the DMV and you realize they're now serving number #53.
2. When you realize you'll need to re-monogram ALL the things.
3. When you realize your first name doesn't blend so well with your new last name... Frances Francis? Lacey Curtain? Great.
4. When every reasonable Insta handle incorporating your new name is taken and you get stuck with @jane_brown34842010. Catchy!
5. When you realize you live NOWHERE near the closest social security office...
6. When you realize you have to include your maiden name and married name on Facebook or else nobody can find you. Like, nobody.
7. When you realize that you just traded your extremely long and complicated last name for a whole new short and easy-to-write one. Things are looking up...
8. When you FINALLY get to sign your fancy new married name to a document. (It's really real!)
