Which one to take?

Un Amor, on April 17, 2024 at 9:01 AM Posted in Planning 0 5

Good Morning Ladies,

Congrats to everyone on here planning their future wedding!! So my future hubby has two last names. His family name then his father's last name. For the sake of this post let's just say it is Smith- Williams Smiley smile Which one should I take? When I asked him he jokingly said neither one of them means I get to quit my day job!!Smiley laugh This is one of the many reasons I'm marrying him. Thanks for the advice and I hope everyone has an amazing day!!

Sincerely,

Fiancé of a future Comedian

    The question is a bit difficult to decipher so it becomes hard for people to give a clear answer. It would help if he helped sort it out. The easiest last name change in most states seems to be to take on the whole last name of your spouse -- or him taking your last name. Usually if it varies from that, the name change has to go through a court system or longer process. If given the flexibility, it might best work to use the last name he would use socially.

    I should have mentioned about checking with the place you would apply for the marriage license. There may be some options for your last name that are allowed but not typically described on the forms.

    If he goes by Smith-Williams, then that’s the name I’d take. Double check the legal requirements in your area, of course.
