I am getting married tomorrow.
Okie before you raise your eyebrows, this is just a Visa formality.. The marriage needs to be registered in Australia according to the visa conditions and so, I am getting married tomorrow...
Of course the groom remains the same :P
Now i have this great big decision to make okie... whether to change my name or not?
I mean should i stay put with my maiden name, or should i adopt my husbands last name, or do i keep both?? confoozment...
Okie I am not one of those females who needs to prove a point or something by hanging on to my maiden name. I mean if you are a Barkha Dutt or an Asha Bhosle it is understandable... but i am obviously not them :P But seriously does one really need fight about it? Is your last name the only thing which defines your identity? Anyways.. I'm not gonna get into that right now.
So you'd say why am i in confusion in the first place. it's like this - I love my maiden name. Its something I've been hearing since i was born okie. It has a very attractive sound to it (who doesn't like their name). So i love it and I am attached to it.
But at the same time i like the thot of adopting my husbands last name. It gives me a very married and very belong to each other kind of feeling (i know.. too much mush)
Also I have another problem. I cannot keep both mine and my husbands last name. See the first alphabet of all the three is S... so my initials kind of become triple SSS. Worse the first three letters for all three are all "sur". Its really funny when u look at it. So its either gonna be mine or his last name.
So here I am stuck for a choice... what do i do??
My husband has totally left it up to me. So keeping in mind all the legal formalities for name change (passport, DL, bank accounts etc) the choice is a lil bit easier & I am presently still keeping my maiden name - for the time being.
