There is no "hassle" but you will have to make sure that this is the way your name appears on the marriage license and that wil be the name associated with all legal documents.
Thanks for the link to that wonderful kit. I'll be putting in my order for that very, very soon. The 'hassle' I referred to was with having both names recognized. I've been online seeking articles written by women who hyphenated and wanted to share their experiences. For the most part it's a matter of preference, but it seems a lot of women complained that it was a hassle filling a perscription and things like that because of the hyphenated name. In these articles, I found what I was looking for: inspiration.
Ah..I see...well, it is a matter of personal preference. What is a hassle to some may not be to others. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
