girls did you 'practice' putting yours and your future husband's name?

Question

before you got married (if you decided to take keep his name that is)? And did you practice writing it?
:)

lol Paien: thank you for answering!

Answer 1

Yes.
I wanted to see what my new signature would look like. Plus it was fun dreaming of the future. :)

Answer 2

Not until after I was married. I just never thought about it.

I did practice about a dozen times in the front of the journal I had when I got married...but then felt really stupid.

Answer 3

haha No, but I work in the wedding industry and I'd say about 50% of brides do practice their new name.

I had a bride in my office a couple months ago who must have been 20 years old. I kid you not, she did not know how to spell her new last name! What a knucklehead! LOL

Answer 4

no, not really. right after we got married though, after the honeymoon, i sat down and wrote my new name a couple hundred times in a row to get used to it. and i have never once forgotten and written my old name by mistake, so i guess it worked.

Answer 5

When I was like 12.

The bf I have now (for 8 years), no. but, were not getting married.

Answer 6

You better believe I did. I kept my own last name as a second middle name and took his last name so that our family could have a shared name......

Gotta tell you it looked pretty good written out and it still does!

Answer 7

yes, all the time, we met in college so instead of taking notes I would doodle various versions of my name with his, although my maiden name had better alliteration:p

Answer 8

I certainly did, but decided to keep my maiden name.

Answer 9

LOL

I did, after my husband and I got engaged.

Answer 10

yeah I did all the time, after 39 years I still do
