I will talk about this based on my experience.
Marriage is the only thing that can permanently bring two people together and they will become inseparable until deaths comes against them. Before marriage both the man and the woman is answering their family's individuals name but after the Marriage rites are concluded, traditional marriage and white wedding done, then is compulsory that the couple do change of name especially the woman, she will from then start answer her husband's name (family name).
It depends on your choice and your financial capacity to finance it.
You will need to do a news paper publication. In this publication, you will first indicate your new names, then secondly followed by the old name. That's where you will inform the general public that you are now answering a new names but the old names are still valid on your documents and certificates but you are desired to from that day be attention and or addressed by the current names.
You should make sure that the recent name you are answering is now the same thing you have on your marriage certificate, is very crucial, don't make that mistake.
You can also go to your local government secretariat and obtain the documents for authentic change of name so that when you want to travel out of country it will not be a problem for you.
Change of name procedures after marriage differs depending on your country but like I said I'm writing based on experience so before you go for change of name after marriage please make proper inquiries so it will be authentic.
Always remember that your partner must be aware of change of name after marriage so that it will not bring problems in your marriage in the future, and the two of you must be answering the same name, for example you as a wife should not be answering Mrs. Lilian Kingsley Okoh while your husband is answering Mr. Emmanuel Okafor Okoh. If you observe well, you will see the difference in these names and this is possible to mess up everything you have done in your change of name after marriage.
Before you go ahead, make enquiry then follow the process so your change of name after marriage will be authentic.
