You Can Call Me Al: Using A Nickname or Petname For Your Ceremony

by Mia Bolaris-Forget (Staff Writer NYCityWeddings)

It’s rare to find, especially these days someone who uses their given birth name. In fact both men and women shorten their longer names, use their middle name as their first name or go by a nickname or pet name they were given and that has special meaning.

And, regardless of just how “cutsie” or conventional, modern marriage makes it possible for you to use it on your special day. In fact, using the name you normally use and are most comfortable with is now the norm. Remember, all the official paperwork and legal documents will feature your information in full, making everything legal, official and binding.
