As a recent bride, I have a question to other married people. How did you deal with your new identity. I know this sounds weird, and probably petty, but I'm having issues with it.
When I came back to work people would call me by my new name. At first I was taken aback and actually said, "Who?" when being referred to as "Mrs. Dentz." Then it happened. The jokes started, Mrs. Double D, Mrs. Dense, yadda, yadda..
We went to the SS office and I was given a book (basically a book) to read and sign to change my name. I tossed it aside and said, "later." I went to the DMV and they told me I needed a fee, new pic, and other crap I can't remember. The school district require all kinds of paperwork also-to change a name. to change a NAME.
Married people should warn you of this hassle.
It's so weird to be called a name you aren't use to, like your identity is lost.
I was going to hyphenate, but I was sent a lenghty email stating I couldn't because it wouldn't fit on my new email. (Who would've thought?)
Now, I'm in limbo and don't know what to do.
(I think we should both change our names to Deitz)
