Will and I are gonna be getting married on Feb 10th. 2 weeks from now!! :cloud9 :smitten


I met up w/ a NAVY Wife & her Hubby, who's on Will's ship. I found out that they're going on their last Sea Trial in 3 weeks.. For 2 weeks.. Which will only leave is w/ about a month [[from what we hear as of now]] to get married & get everything done before he Deploy's.. That just doesn't work for me, too much stress. So we decided to do it before he goes out to Sea.. That way we have those 2 weeks to get our Marrage License back, I can change my name & do everything I gotta do back home.. And then he get's back, we'll do everything we gotta do w/ DEERS & TriCare. Get me a POA. And all that stuff.



I am so excited!!!:jump4joy :wub

thats cool.

question, though... i thought you're not telling people (besides your parents) you're getting married... but if you change your last name, won't that give it away?

WOW-Congrats!

I talked 2 my cousin about that, who's Hubby is a Marine. She told me to just go ahead & do it now, it'll be so much easier. But keep my DL that I have now in front of my new one, & don't show anybody my Mili ID or any of that stuff..

ahhh i see. i guess i couldn't pull off lying to people like that.... i'd feel guilty an weird.

they put a hole in your current license, FYI

When I got my name changed, they took my old license...

Congrats tho!

Congrats!!!

But they probably will take your license or at least put a hole in it. And what if someone has to write you a check? Your bank account info and stuff needs to be changed. Good luck with figuring everything out.

its not that hard... i was married now getting a divorce and still had things in my maiden name... just cause i changed my id doesnt mean i have to change everything else... because on my birth certif is my maiden name they will accept it as long as you keep your id with your old name and you new name.....

oh and congrats lol

how does THAT work? to use a credit card or debit card your name needs to match your ID.............. and from what i understand, you need to get your accounts, insurance, etc all changed to your new name once you've legally changed it.

Congrats!!!! :cp :weee

My wedding will actually be on Feb. 16th so I'm also SUPER excited!

Nobody ask to see my DL anyways to begin w/. I know they put a hole in it, but it can be hidden the way my wallet is.


& we aren't lieing. We aren't not telling anyone to HIDE it becaue they won't approve of it, it's just that it keeps the excitement for Will and I when our big wedding comes...

Congrats!!!

That is super easy. All I have to do is show my Old ID & my Marrage Cer. that proves my name is changed, and they'll cash it.


I have everything figured out. I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't have a fucking plan, & know what I am doing or how to do it.

Aren't you going to get tired of always showing your marriage certificate to cash a check?

There is no need to get an attitude. Everyone is just telling you the truth about the way things work. If I was going to hide something like that, I'd want someone telling me everything that I wouldn't think of.

I don't get many checks. The only check I get, is twice a month from work, and they know what's going on. I wasn't going to change my name at 1st till I talked to my cousin who's been threw this.. We talked for a good while, about everything. And we went through everything. So I've had all this stuff brought to my attention already...

good luck to you...seems like a lot of work to hide it :( but still exciting being married nonetheless

Meh, I could give a rat's patootie what anyone's thinks of my decisions, but every deals with family pressure differently. It's her choice. Let's just be happy for her- she's already been through the ringer on this topic.

Grats sweetie!! :fetti :happydance :yahoo Hope your marriage is everything you want it to be!! :hugs

congratulations!

Congrats!!!! So how about this...Dont change your name. You dont have to just because your married. Once your married you can still get a dependent ID, get onto DEERS, the whole nine...LOTS of women choose to keep their name. The only problem is IF you decide to change your name after you have a big wedding, it'll be tougher to change it...but whatever...Enjoy yourselves and congrats again!

I actually did what your going to do... but it got to be too much of a hasle keeping up with whats what and shit. so about 2 monhts of having to carry eceryt single document i own in reagards to our marrige I said screw it and changed it all the way.

about the c/c... we got married at the end of the month well I turned it into my work and they updated their systems & with the gov't @ the ss office and was in the process of changing everything else and my c/c got declined b/c they blocked it due to id theft. b/c the names wern't matching up in the systems. I was pissed...

I have sherman's POA too..... when I went to the bank to sort something out on his car stuff, they asked me for my paperwork and 2 forms of picture id... so i got out my mitry id & my dl... well they wouldn't take it b/c the names didn't match, so i showed them the marriage certif and they still wouldn't help me b/c it wasn't a picture id



long story short... you gotta do what you gotta do... so good luck !!!

Congratulations - I am sure it will all work out and be awesome!!

I wasn't trying to harp on you!!! :scared Please don't think that. Just trying to help...sorry. I just know what they made me go through when I got married. That's basically why I kept my married name when I got divorced because I didn't want to change everything again. I understand why you are doing it this way. Congrats and Good Luck with both weddings!!!!

WOW, there is no need to have an attitude! Don't hash on these ladies just because they're asking why you're not telling anyone you're married. Do whatever you want, but don't get defensive!

Congrats! Just being nosey here not mean or anything...why dont you want ppl to see your mil id or know you married...im really not trying to be mean just wondering :D

i kinda flirted w/ the same idea before, but Hun didn't make it out here before he left for deployment. which is kinda good in a way too cuz i don't want to be the newly wed bride that was left back home cuz the husband left for war. also, i'm really against not telling my 'rents about it. so yea, in a way, it's God's way of not letting me disobey my parents--i know they'll be hurt if they found out i got married without telling them and plus, didn't want to start my marriage with hiding it from the people i love most, which are my family and friends. cuz we were talking bout getting married in a courthouse, then a church wedding when he comes back. so yea, we'll just have one wedding most likely later on this year.

anyway, that's just me. you might have a different relationship to your parents than i do w/ mine. congrats to you and the future husband on the upcoming wedding though =] hope everything works out.
