I took his last name and in the process of changing my name now! It's a big process and won't be completely done until at least March due to Covid restrictions at all the locations (DMV, Passport, etc).

Same order. My last name - her last name. We wanted same order so we both have the same last name as our children. We considered an alternative last name (combination of both names), but hated all of the options.

Okay thanks for sharing. Didn't you mention that your MIL is unsupportive of the marriage? Not sure if it is you or another user on here... If so, Is the name you share the same as hers?

Yes, that was me. We do have the same last name, however, she and my FIL are divorced, so she could go back to her maiden name for all I care lol
I’m not changing it - I changed back to my maiden name after my divorce several years ago and it took a while to get used to that. My work email is based on my previous name (and can’t be changed) and people still call me by the old name, I don’t want to add any more confusion!
