Ask a Question - NWR (sort of) Change E mail addys? - 3RDTIMEBRIDE's Blue Wedding by Color Blog

Tonight My FH and I got talking about last names, and I said I wasn't going to change my E mail addies even though they have my exs last name, and he got all freaked out saying the whole point of marriage is taking his name, But I have 2 addyies with the Xs last name and I think it will be too much hassle to change them and let everyone know its still me.
Question.... what are you other WBC brides doing about existing E mail addresses? will you creat new accounts? or just continue with the old ones?

hoenstly never thought about this. my current email address is my name first and last and to change it would be a hastle. I think I will get a new one after the wedding ...just one more thing to do

hmmm...excellent question...and one i havent thought about. i'm adding his last name to mine and my email address is my first and last name...i'll probably just keep the one i have. maybe after the wedding you could make a new one and send out an announcement to all your contacts letting them know that you got married and you changed your email address..and if people keep sending stuff to the old ones just gently remind them that you got a new one?

My e-mail is my first name and maiden name, but I only realized that it would need to be changed after the wedding. I still haven't done it as I have different e-mails - my college e-mail has my new last name, and I use that for school and business, while the people who e-mail me at my personal e-mail know I got married. I will probably change it eventually, but for now I'm lazy and it's not really a big deal to me.

I have my email addy with my name, but its only my secondary email anyways, kinda like my more professional one that I put on resumes and such.. I will make a new addy, but still keep my old one just so anyone I forget to tell about the new addy wont be lost... Eventually when I am sure that everyone has the new addy then I will delete the old one.. You should do the same.. Make a new one, but gradually let everyone know about the new change. That way people who forget, wont get their emails lost..

Okay g!rl.... I'm going to be honest here... I always try to put myself in the other person's shoes (your FH) If my FH had an email address with his ex's name I would be pissed!! I understand everyone has a past but if you're getting married to someone I think it's time to change it. It obviously offends him/hurts his feelings....so I would change it. I know it's a hassle but it will make him feel good.

I currently use : gabrielledailey@hotmail.com

I have already created my new email : gabibass@live.com

who cares if everyone doesn't get my new email address..I'm on FB they can contact me there.

Depending on your religious background, it is customary/tradition to take your spouses last name.
I am looking forward to killing my old email...I have subscribed to so much crap during this wedding planning process...UGH..!

I wouldn't ever NOT think about taking My Love's last name. I'm proud to take his name. Some men may not care but most do. It's almost an insult to some men if you don't.

Thanks Ladies, I guess I will change everything.....
