hi i am a new bride from connecticut and was wondering about the whole name change bit. I am of hispanic descent and i wanted to use my maiden name and my husband's name separated by "de" to show relationship. eg: maria brown de smith. is this legal? the marriage certificate lists us with our own names before marriage. does it have to be written on the marriage certificate to be legal? I do not want to legally change my name. i have started using the new name on checks etc.
thank you
