What's in a Name?

I've only got 10 days left until my wedding. Yay & Eeek!

I've decided to take his last name. I'm not getting rid of my original last name, just adding his. No, not hyphenating it, just adding it. I feel a little bit like who I am, who I've always been, is wrapped up in my name so I don't want to lose it. But I want to add his to join with him together in name as well as in life.

I'm wondering who this woman with the new name will be. Yes, she'll be like me, but she'll be different. She'll be a married person. She'll sign her name differently. Will I like her? What will she be like?

Welcome to my personal identity crisis. It's lovely to have you. ;)
