Let's talk changing names! Are you taking on your partner's name, or are they taking yours? Are you combining the two?
If you decide on a new name, it's time to think about how to go about making the change official. Have you researched the name change process? There are A LOT of places you'll need to change your name, like on your passport, your health card, your SIN record, your driver's license, at your bank, on your insurance, at work, and of course you'll have to tell your friends and family!
Will you change your name? Have you started the process? Are you going to use a name change service or will you DIY your name change?
