I am right there with you... I will let you know when I have mine! I am ready to get the name change over with ASAP. Or I guess more annoying is that my company doesn't change my last name at work until it is official so I am tried of the old ladies ask if I am not taking my husbands name. At this point I have just started to say no I like being higher in Alphabetical order then him! I am a 'B' and he is a 'D' it has been funny watching there faces not understand the joke.

It took me forever at work even when my name was changed. We use so many applications and programs that those all needed to be changed, it was a process for sure. It is so annoying, one thing that sucks after the wedding for sure. I dropped in alphabetically order too, haha!!!!

Oh yeah I am sure it is going to be hell... I go by the nickname Betsy but Elizabeth is my legal name so that is a hassle with all the different applications that we have some have a Betsy profile, others Elizabeth, or some have both. My Betsy profile has limitations and the Elizabeth profile has access to everything but what the Betsy profile has access to I just can't win. We just did an upgrade on one of the Apps to a couple things recently that it dropped using our names to using our company employee ID and my access was all screwed up b/c for the last 7 years I have had two different profiles. LOL! It will only get worst with the name change.

oh Betsy, good luck with all of that!!

 

the words of wisdom for the name change - mail your SS name change first, then driver's license and passport. the next hardest thing was getting it changed on my car loan. the bank accounts & credit cards were really easy. and of course changing it at work required an act of congress (ok, not really - they just wanted to see the new social security card).

 

guard your original marriage certificate carefully!! it isn't replaceable.

 

on another note... 211 days until we return to EDR. *sigh* I just needed something to look forward to, so am starting the countdown waaay early.

YAY!!! You are going to have to let us all know how you like it, were talking about going to that resort in January to try something different. I still can't believe it has been a year already, it is really crazy to think about, time sure does fly. Now you get time to just relax with husband and not worry about wedding stuff. Enjoy!!!

Did you guys tip the officiant? If so, how much? Did you just have your groom/BM slip him some cash at the end?

[mstigger]

We did not, and not because we didn't want to........the minister they had for us was AWESOME, she did such a good job but she was gone before I could even look twice!!
