Although a bride is not required by law to change her name, many do. If you make the change, you’ll need to obtain a revised driver’s license reflecting your new name. You should also notify Social Security about the change. If you and your future husband have a new address, that should also be reflected on your driver’s licenses. Finally, you each will need to notify your voters’ registration office of any changes in names or address.

A good rule of thumb is never hire anyone who works without a contract. Without it, you have no legal recourse if something goes wrong. By far, the biggest problem with weddings seems to be with banquet halls, where the salesperson made a verbal promise that does not appear on the event order form. You should also insist on a contract from the wedding photographer, any musicians and other professionals providing services. Never pay everything upfront, and pay only with a credit card so you can reverse the charges if the contractor fails to deliver.
