Do yourself a favor and do your best to have utilities under a man's name if you live with a man. That is, if you ever think you might change your last name.
If you do not do this, everyone from your phone service to People's Gas will ask that you fax over your marriage certificate and driver's license when you want to change your last name. Do not think there is a way around this procedure if you're moving, that would make too much sense. Your social security number (yes, they already have that) will be attached to the old name and they won't take your word for it that a different name has replaced it.
I know this may not seem like a big deal but when faxing costs $2 a page at Kinko's this pisses me off. Besides that, you never had to present a birth certificate to get that cell phone so why must you show proof now? It seems so invasive! I should have set these all up in the name "Mickey" and been done with it long ago. How would they know if this is correct? They never checked...until now.
GRRRRR.....
