Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. Valis! I am glad that his family came around so quickly. It sounds like you are making a great decision since you are feeling so happy about it
SECOND UPDATE: We went to the courthouse today to file for the name change!
YAY! We did it. I can't wait till we get married and I get to change my name too.
It wasn't that difficult. It was a very simple process. We just had to read all the instructions carefully and fill out the forms properly. It only took us about an hour max. All we have to do next is get our decree granting the name change from the judge and go ahead with the process of updating information with the Social Security, DMV, etc.
If anyone is considering doing this, know that it is not a painful procedure as long as you know what you are doing.
Another thing to consider is that here in LA, at least, it take six weeks to get it filed and granted so plan with enough time for the wedding.
