I never considered not changing my name, and I'm happy with it. My maiden name was Buchholz... so I married a Harris! Not a single person has asked me how to spell my last name since the wedding! My sister married a Brown, and my aunt married a Smith. I guess with a name like Buchholz hanging over your head for so long you are glad to put it behind you!

I think it signifies the two of you becoming one family. I've heard of some couples that pick last name together. I've always thought that was cool, but could never do it! I'm a "go with the flow" type.
