Bride changing surname 1 week before wedding?

[Ambs81]

I spotted this week that my future SIL has already updated her social media profiles to her married surname 9 days before their wedding.
I guess she's excited but it just seems strange, surely people will be presuming she's married now?
I left it a couple of weeks, and had updated bank etc before I did facebook.
AIBU to think she's acting like a bunny boiler?

Name changes are all about personal preference. A friend of mine has had a really long engagement (5+ years) and isn’t getting married until 2020, but has had her name hyphenated with her partner’s for a a couple of years on facebook. Just because she wants to. They’ve been together for over a decade and it’s no one else’s business. I know my mother in law also used father in law’s surname for everything but legal stuff after my husband was born, even though they didn’t legally marry for 6 more years.

Unless she’s done other things to be concerned about, I wouldn’t worry. Married name conventions are always evolving and are all about personal preference.

Well you’d hate me because as I work for the police, and when I get placed in a prison (not a co) I’m going to be known on Facebook as my kid’s surname, which happens to be my partners surname. We’re not even engaged.

It's not about which name she's using though.

It's the whole updating a status on Facebook. Which is odd 9 days before it would happen for real.
Why not just post that's she's excited about being Mrs whatever and leave it at that until she signs the certificate.Of course she can change her name whenever she likes but expecting people to use her married name 9 days before the actual ceremony iis daft ( in my opinion ).

I would raise my eyebrow too and think a bit cringey like i have when i see women take such pride in a sexist tradition. but i was really conflicted about changing my name so I possibly see it differently.

The last three or four brides I've known have changed their name on FB before the cake has been cut. I thought that was keen

I agree with OP it's cringe
