After a bride says "I do" to a life with her newhusband, she often says "I do" to a new lastname. Whether she takes the name as a lovinggesture, to make it more convenient when hav-ing kids, or simply to rid herself of an unap-pealing maiden name, changing her surnamewill require some steps to ensure the legality ofa change in identity.Because a name change will require a copy ofthe marriage certificate -- something that isn'toften obtained until after the ceremony -- it'sbest to wait until after you've returned from ahoneymoon to change documentation. Also, inorder to travel, you may require birth certifi-cates, passports, a license, or another form ofID. It will be impossible to change all of thoseforms of identification before the wedding.Inconsistent documentation could cause hang-ups in the travel process. Additionally, you maybe charged if you try to change your name onairline tickets after they've already been issued.Therefore, enjoy your maiden name a littlelonger until the honeymoon bliss is over and it'sback to reality.Ready to get started? Here are most of the doc-uments you'll need to change as you take onyour new married name.1. Social Security Card: If you are a U.S. resi-dent, you will need to go to your local socialsecurity office, or download a form from theIRS Web site to apply for a change of name onyour social security card. It takes approximately10 days after the application is received for theIRSto update the records. In Canada you willneed to change your Social Insurance Numbercard.2. Drivers license:In order to change your driv-ers license and vehicle registration, you'll likelyhave to visit the Department of Motor Vehicles,or whatever the agency is called in your area.

You will need several forms of identification,two of which will be your marriage certificateproving change of name and your social securi-ty card. Also have your old drivers license withyou.3. Passport:Contact the Passport Agency toupdate your name on your passport. You may ormay not be charged for the new issue depend-ing upon how long it's been since you appliedfor a passport.4. Insurance policies: If you have health insur-ance, life insurance, or a 401(k) plan, youshould communicate your change of name tothe respective companies.5. Bank accounts:Guests will likely issue giftchecks in your married name or as a couple. Ithelps to have an account available in which todeposit those checks. You can choose to mergeyour banking accounts once married, or openup a joint account with your new name.6. Employer:Have your employer change yourname in their records and update payroll andany other services. You will also want to updatee-mail stationery to reflect your new name andhave your IT director change your informationfor computer logins and e-mail addresses. Acourtesy e-mail to clients will fill them in onyour name change.7. Credit card & utility companies: Notify thesecompanies of a change of name. Some mayrequire written documentation to complete thechange.8. Wills and other legal contracts: Have legaldocuments amended to feature your updatedname. You may want to change your benefici-ary to your husband. BR101977

It is customary for the bride- and groom-to-be to showtheir gratitude to all of the people who will make theirwedding day special. Weddings today feature people whohave roles that go beyond the traditional, like interior dec-orators and musical soloists. It's important to remember tothank everyone who contributes to the celebration.Thank-you gifts should be something thoughtful andenduring. Avoid fad or gag gifts. These gifts should bepresented at a pre-wedding occasion. It's customarily doneat the rehearsal dinner.Crafting personalized remarks is a nice way to call atten-tion to the unique tasks of each wedding participant. Don'tsimply pass the gifts out in one fell swoop. This way thegift will have more meaning through a personal message.Don't let thank-you gifts be forgotten. Start thinking of giftideas early on and plan for any extra time for engraving orother personalization.

GroomsmenWhen selecting gifts for groomsmen, think about a giftthey would like but probably wouldn't buy themselves.This can be cuff links, a fine watch, money clip, or a high-quality wallet. Feel free to splurge a little more on the bestman.

BridesmaidsTraditional gifts for bridesmaids are different types of jew-elry. Monogrammed stationery, a spa treatment, or anotherpampering session. As you have with the best man, feelfree to bestow a little more thanks on the maid of honorwith a more lavish gift. Younger bridal party members canget a similar gift, but one in scale with their ages.

ClergyMany couples choose to make a financial donation to theirhouse of worship. Additional tipping or monetary gifts formusicians, alter boys/girls, etc. can also be a thoughtfulgesture. A donation toward an officiant's vestments mayalso be appreciated.

Parents of the Bride and GroomThe couple may choose to bestow a gift on their parents,which can be especially meaningful if the parents are tak-ing care of the financial responsibility of the wedding.Jewelry or fine gifts in similar scope to that of the bridalparty are good ideas. Consider engraved picture framesthat can house a wedding portrait down the road.

OthersReaders, soloists, ushers, etc. can be given a small tokenof your appreciation, like a gift card or a personalizedmemento. BR101976--------bridal/wedding howto how-to how to WeddingsMicroSite

To help you get a better understanding of how to plan awedding and when you should be making certain deci-sions, here's a timeframe you can follow that shouldensure that your wedding goes off as smoothly as possi-ble.

10 to 12 Months BeforeIf you haven't done it already, this is a good time toannounce your engagement and introduce your respectivefamilies. Since most reception halls and churches havebusy wedding schedules, it is also important to book bothas early as possible, preferably at least a year in advanceof your wedding day. It's also a good idea to start puttingtogether a guest list around this time and ask your parentswhom they'd like to invite as well. Also, since your budg-et will determine just about every aspect of your wedding,sitting down and determining what you can spend, anddeveloping a savings plan should be first and foremost.

6 to 9 Months BeforeThis is the time when you want to start booking someservices, such as a florist, caterer, a DJ/band, and a pho-tographer. However, some of the more experienced DJsand bands as well as photographers might have theirschedules booked a year in advance, so this might besomething you'll want to consider doing shortly after youget engaged and choose a date. Also, this is a good timeto inform any guests who will be traveling significant dis-tances of the date of your wedding. The earlier yourguests can book a flight, the less expensive that flight willbe.This is also a good time to order gowns for both the brideand bridesmaids, as some manufacturers require a fewmonths to ship to bridal shops. You might want to asksomeone such as your priest or rabbi to be the officiant ofyour wedding. And much like out-of-town guests willsave travel dollars the earlier they learn of your weddingdate, you will likely save money, too, if you book yourhoneymoon around this time.

4 to 5 Months BeforeThis is a good time to decide on wedding invitations, ofwhich there are many styles to choose from. Also, now isideal to start hunting for a wedding cake by sampling anumber of different bakeries and their style of cakesbefore ultimatelymaking a decision.

Just to be sure, con-firm that all of the

bridesmaids have ordered their gowns and start lookingfor a tuxedo for the groom as well as the groomsmen. Ifyou haven't done so already, purchase your wedding ringsand let any other people you'd like to participate in yourwedding (ushers, readers during the ceremony, etc.) knowof your intentions.

2 to 3 Months BeforeFinalize your guest list and mail out your invitations. Ifyour guest list includes a considerable amount of peoplewho are spread out geographically, mail the invitations asclose to 12 weeks in advance as possible. This is also agood time to finalize your menu choices for your guests,and find all your wedding accessories such as the ring pil-low, candles, etc. Also, since it is tradition to provide giftsfor those in the wedding party as well as the parents ofthe bride and groom, this is a good time to decide on andpurchase those gifts. Just to be safe, confirm that allgroomsmen have ordered their tuxedos and finalize alltransportation, both to and from the wedding and to theairport for your honeymoon.

1 to 2 Months BeforeSchedule the first bridal-gown fitting. Also finalize thereadings you'd prefer during the ceremony and mail themout to anyone who has agreed to do a reading. If yourfamily prefers to host a small gathering for close familyand friends after the wedding rehearsal, the night beforethe wedding, this is a good time to order any food ordrinks you might want to serve that night, or make arestaurant reservation.

3 to 4 Weeks BeforeConfirm your honeymoon arrangements and see if yourwedding rings are ready. This is also when you should getyour marriage license and check the guest list to see whohas and hasn't RSVP'd. For those who have yet to RSVP,you might want to contact them so you can get a closeridea of what the head count will be. You should also pre-pare and order your wedding program around this time.

1 to 2 Weeks BeforeGet a final attendance count and submit it to the caterer assoon as you know of it, while also providing a final seat-ing chart. Pick up the wedding gown and tuxedo. Makesure the wedding party picks up their attire. Also, finalizeyour vows and confirm all wedding-day details such astransportation, photo schedules, and addresses. And don'tforget to pack for your honeymoon.

The Day BeforeThis is mainly when you rehearse for the ceremony andmake any final confirmations you might have to make.Also, make sure to get some sleep so you'll look good inall of your wedding-day photos.

Discussing and Solving Debtwith Your New Spouse

To be sure, gazing deep into the eyes of your futurespouse and talking about the outstanding debts beingbrought into the marriage isn't very romantic. So it's nosurprise that the topic isn't high on the list of prioritieswhen making wedding plans. However, it makes goodsense -- and good cents -- for couples to sit down andmake a plan for managing their finances and any exist-ing debts long before the ink is dry on the wedding invi-tations.

Take charge of your debtsIf you're not sure of the exact status of your debts, acredit report will provide a detailed history of what youcurrently owe and if any payments have been late or aremissing. Your first and perhaps most important job is toensure that the report is complete and accurate.Inaccurate or incomplete information can damage yourcredit rating -- and it is up to you to document the errorsand make sure they are corrected. Managing your debtsand credit history is extremely important and all toooften overlooked.

Create a planDetermine what your financial obligations are and,together, create a strategy to reduce and eventually elim-inate your debts. Expect the unexpected and have con-tingencies in place should you become unable to contin-ue your payment plan due to a job layoff, an unexpectedmajor expense or medical emergency. Be aware that

your current debts may limit your ability to make majorpurchases and determine how that will impact yourfuture needs. Having children is stressful and costlyeven under ideal circumstances, so it pays to tune upyour finances before having children.

Reducing or eliminating debtDetermine a realistic amount you can afford each monthand a timetable for paying down your debt. Evaluateevery few months how well your plan is progressingand make necessary adjustments to pay off as much asyou can without adding undo stress. Even though somestrategies to reduce your debt seem obvious, theyshouldn't be overlooked. First and foremost, don't makepurchases that will add to your debt. Contact your credi-tors and try to negotiate a lower interest rate. This mayor may not be possible, but couples won't know if theydon't try.When paying down debts, eliminate the debts that boasthigher interest rates first. See if you can transfer cardbalances to a card with a lower interest rate. Find waysto cut spending by living on less. This should leavemore room to enjoy your new life together, and enableeach person in the relationship to improve their creditrating as well. The first step to financial success is tomake a plan. All steps thereafter should adhere to thatplan. BR101962--------bridal/wedding WeddingsMicroSite money/finance gen-eral interest

Awedding can be a wonderful and memorable experience forall of those involved. That's why you ask friends or relatives toshare in the event and serve in your wedding party. Your offeris a wonderful honor, one that goes with it varying degrees ofresponsibility depending on the role each person will be play-ing. To help you decide who to ask to be in your weddingparty, here is a list of titles and responsibilities for each partici-pant's role.

Maid of HonorThe maid of honor is a role typically filled by a sister or a veryclose friend. It is the equivalent of the groom's best man. Themaid of monor's role, therefore, is typically very involved.Among her many responsibilities, the maid of monor accom-panies the bride on shopping trips for her wedding dress whilealso planning the bridal shower, bachelorette party and coordi-nating the bridal party gift for the bride. Also, the maid ofmonor helps the bride get dressed on her wedding day, holdsthe groom's wedding ring during the wedding and may alsohelp in the writing of invitations. The maid of monor will alsotypically act as a witness to the wedding and dance with thebest man at the reception. If the woman you're asking is mar-ried, her title will be matron of honor.

Best ManPerhaps the most well-known responsibilities of the best manare organizing the bachelor party and giving the toast at thereception. But the best man, who is typically a brother or bestfriend of the groom, also has a slew of other responsibilities. Inaddition to helping the groom choose his tuxedo and getdressed before the wedding, the best man coordinates the cou-ple's gift from the groomsmen and takes care of the newlywed-s' transportation to the airport after the reception or the nextmorning. The best man may also hold onto any payment that'sdue to the reception site or the donation for the house of wor-ship, and take care of any final financial details. He also holdsthe bride's wedding ring during the ceremony.

BridesmaidsAlong with walking in the wedding procession, bridesmaidsattend the shower and contribute to the bridal gifts. brides-maids, who are typically sisters or friends of the bride orgroom, also dance with the groomsmen during the reception.To be further involved, each can be given specific roles, likereading a religious passage at the ceremony, providing assis-tance with choosing wedding vendors, or helping to addresswedding invitations.

GroomsmenGroomsmen are the male equivalent of the bridesmaids, typi-cally having nearly identical responsibilities. Sometimes,groomsmen can act as ushers for guests arriving at the ceremo-ny. groomsmen walk in the wedding processional and attendand help organize the bachelor party as well.

Flower GirlIf the bride has a sister who is especially young, that sister typ-ically fills the role of flower girl. Since most flower girls arevery young, their responsibilities are generally limited to carry-

ing a basket of flowers during the processional and, dependingon the bride's preference, tossing flower petals on the groundto mark the bride's entrance.

Ring BearerLike the flower girl, the ring bearer is a very young member ofthe family, only the ring bearer is a male. The ring bearer's roleis to carry a pillow with the rings sewn on it during the proces-sional. Some couples choose to have the ring bearer and theflower girl walk next to one another during the processional.

Parents of the BrideThe bride's parents may be responsible for hosting the wed-ding, if they will be completely financially responsible for theevent. In some cases, the father of the bride escorts his daugh-ter down the aisle alone, but in other instances or in religiousceremonies, both parents may accompany the bride. In allcases, it's her preference. The mother of the bride may helpfund or contribute to the planning of the bridal shower if theMaid of Honor needs assistance. These parents may also footthe cost of an engagement party or dinner to meet the groom'sfamily.

Parents of the GroomThe groom's parents should host a rehearsal dinner prior to thewedding. They may also choose to contribute to the wedding ifthey desire. In most cases, the groom's parents have limitedresponsibilities, but can be involved as much as the weddingcouple would like. Traditionally, the groom's mother conferswith the bride's mother on what color gown she is wearing, soas not to go with the same shade. The groom's parents maywalk down the aisle in advance of the rest of the wedding pro-cessional and take their seats.

Worried Sick? Wedding-Day PlanningRequires a Healthy Perspective

Too often, stress about invitations, cakes, bridesmaids,makeup and more overshadow the actual romance of abride's big day. That's not without reason, because plan-ning a wedding is an involved process. In fact, TheNational Women's Health Information Center's Web sitecites getting married as one of the most stress-ful eventsin a person's life.Barbara North, M.D. says too much wed-ding-relatedstress can actually hinder plans for the big day. "Womenwill sometimes worry so much about details like favorsand bridesmaid gifts that they literally worry themselvessick," says Dr. North. "While it may seem necessary atthe time, too much wedding stress can take its toll onboth the bride and her relationship."To avoid the wedding-day blues, Dr. North offers tips tokeep brides happy and relaxed.Don't forget to eat. It's not crucial to your marriage thatyou fit the cov-eted size-6 designer dress on your wed-ding day, but it is important for your body to be in goodcondition. Some women may exercise and start dietingbefore their weddings, which is fine, if you're stayinghealthy. If you eat right, drink plenty of water and getenough calcium, you can ensure you'll be in bettershape both physically and mentally for the big day.Also, don't forget to eat a light meal the morning ofyour wedding. You'll need fuel to make it through theceremony, pictures and up to the cocktail hour.Sense your cycle. Stress can actually impact a woman'smonthly cycle, affecting everything from the timing ofher flow to hormones and pain. While some womenplan ahead and use the pill to "schedule" their periodsaround their weddings, you can't always ensure howyour body will react. Plan instead by having the righttools.Stop thinking. Taking a day before the event to do any-thing but think about the wedding can streamline plan-ning and help you get back your focus. Worrying 24/7can cause physical problems including muscle tension,insomnia, headaches, digestive issues, skin irritation,anger, sadness, or even decreased libido. No matter howfabulous your big day, there's nothing worse than avoid-ing intimacy on your wedding night because you'veworried too much.Rather than tying the knot with a knot in your stomach,Dr. North says you can de-stress by focusing on whatreally counts -- your health and the health of your rela-tionship.
