Well I'm getting hitched in May for a variety of reasons but I need some advice on one issue.
DS (stepson to DP) does not want me to change my surname as it will mean he is the only one in our family with his name. I completely understand and respect this, and indeed was not planning on taking DP's name for feminist reasons anyway.
My question is this- durung the actual ceremony when you have to sign the register, do you have to make it clear to the registrar what your intentions are, or can you just turn up and sign away.
