What is covered in this podcast episode?

When it comes to changing your name after the wedding day, many people assume the bride simply takes the groom's last name and it's a done deal... Well Nikita and Cécile sit down to discuss and inform you that that's not quite right any more! It is important for both people in the relationship to understand their options when changing names and Nikita dives right in to the hot topics. It is becoming popular for the groom to change their last name instead or for the couple to take both last names. Although many people are aware that the bride taking her partner's last name can be down to heritage, Cécile is here to tell you that the main thing you should take away from this podcast episode is that it is your choice!
