Explanation:
This is wider-reaching than the previous answers . Some persons may change their name otherwise than by getting married (which however may be a good choice!). Some legislations (the USA for instance) are far more permissive than others (such as France). In some cases, brides may even take the name of their spouses (I believe this is the case in Germany).

When saying "brides", I of course meant "bridegrooms". Sorry.
