    Default Does The Wife's Name Change Automatically When She Marries

    Hi, on Monday I got married. My wife and I wonder if her name changed to mine. We got a marriage certificate, that is it. So what happens now? If we do nothing, will our two last names remain the old ones?

    Many thanks!

    Yup! If she wants to take your name, she need only start using it, and have it changed with the Social Security Office, the DMV, her employer, and on any accounts she has.

    Herzlichen Glückwünsch zu Ihrer Hochzeit!

    Thnx for the info. We want to retain our old last names until we change them sometime in the future to her mother's maiden name. So we don't have to do anything right now, since by merely getting married nothing happens to last names?

    Vielen Dank für die Glückwünsche. Es heisst aber Eurer und nicht Ihrer Hochzeit.

    That's correct.

    Hah, danke. I've been home from Germany for 22 years, pronouns are a little rusty!
