Changing your name

[xo_kathy]

I'm going to take fiance's last name when we get married. But I want the minister and DJ to announce us as Mr. & Mrs. Orlando and Kathy HisLastName. Partially because he's been married before so it won't be the first time he's heard it said , but mostly because I don't want to be referred to as Mrs. My Husband (though I don't mind it on invitations and such).

I also have a very generic "American" last name. However, finace has an even more generic Spanish last name. I suppose I need to learn how to pronounce it correctly, though. I remember vacationing in Mexico and putting our reservations under his name in my American accent. I felt silly. I do think it will be fun though when I have that very Spanish last name and I'm clearly very Irish!
