So, do I go by maiden name until I change it??

Well, I think officially you should keep ur maiden name (on all accounts & work & stuff) untill you start your name change process. But I think unofficially you could start introducing yourself as Mrs..... I think it makes hubbies feel better IMO

If your going to add him I would suggest you do it ASAP or you are probably going to have to wait until your companies open enrollment date.

Yep you are exactly right. I got everything in Monday...exactly 30 days from the day we got married..

But I am kinda pissed about how they are gonna charge me back to June 14th since that's when we got married...he didn't use the benefits... Ah well. He should be in there though...

Dlyteful..where are your pics? The one I have seen is fabulous...

Yup, our travel agent (who is freaking awesome!) told us about the 4-8 week wait on your actual certificate. We aren't getting married until next June, but after thinking about having to wait that long until you could start the ball rolling in the US, and after adding up all the costs of the paperwork you have to complete so that you are legally able to get married in the Dem Rep, we just decided it was easier and safer to just get married here at the court house and not tell anyone. We don't want anyone else there except our witness's (which are also getting married down there with us), so that it doesn't mean anything except paperwork.

What?!? I got married 2 weeks before you. I'm going to email Chandlyn today. Thanks for letting us know.

i got mine last week. actually it was that day that it stormed really badly. the pizza guy found the registered letter thing in our mulch. thank goodness we ordered pizza that night!

FYI... I just received mine today. I emailed Chandlyn last week asking her if she knew when it would be sent and she said she had it there and just needed to verify my address (not sure why she didn't contact me; also she definitely had my address, but whatever). So I gave it to her and it was sent within a week. It was dated June 17, so I can see that she has had it for over a month. So if you were married in May or June and haven't received yours yet, I suggest contacting Chandlyn.

Wow Lizz, whats up with that.....Well I'm glad u finally have yours, now the fun begins. I changed my name on my SS card & Dr. Lic. I took a 1/2 day off work for it. I use to work for the secretary of state (DMV) so the girls there pulled me to to front and took care of me right away. I'm so glad they did because they were calling # 76 and giving out the next number of 17....I would have been there the rest of the day. Fun stuff!
