Once a bride marries, she has many options available to her. She can be traditional and take the husbands surname; or simply add it into her name; or will she keep her maiden name? Although it may sound complex, it really isn't. Here's some examples of the name change options that the bride can decide upon once she's married. - The wife can decide to take her husband's surname (e.g. Cristy Grace becomes Cristy Adam after she marries Jacob Adam). This example is the traditional way embraced by a majority of the couples globally. Most wives enjoy sharing their husband's surname, yet some find it sexiest. If the bride decides she wants to change her name she must then change it on all legal documents (e.g. credit cards, drivers license, passport, bills). - The wife can use her given birth name as her middle name (e.g. Cristy Grace becomes Cristy Grace Adam). This is also a very popular option that still preserves the recognition that she's married. - The wife may choose if she wants to keep her maiden name (e.g. Cristy Grace remains Cristy Grace). Since most brides want to be recognized as married this option isn't commonly utilized. Still some go this route, sometimes in fear of change or loss of identity. - The wife can choose to use her husband's name socially, but keep her original name for her professional career (e.g. Cristy Grace is still called Cristy Grace at work, but off the clock is called Cristy Adam). - The wife can also decide to use both surnames (Cristy Grace becomes Cristy Grace-Adam). This option is sometimes taken when there are children who aren't the brides whom are brought into a family through marriage. Usually the children's names are hyphenated with both surnames too.
