Question Time

When I am signing the paperwork on the wedding day, which signature do I use?

This question comes up a lot…sometimes even as the bride or groom picks up the pen! (Yes, the groom. Traditions are changing and it’s not always the bride that takes the groom’s last name). I even asked my celebrant this question :)

You sign with the name you have before you are married. So if your name is Jacinta Timonen and you are marrying Derek Bauer, you would sign with Timonen as your last name.
