If you're anything like us Birds, back in school days you doodled away many a maths class practising what your signature would look like if you married your favourite crush.
Little did we know that when the time actually came to really change our surnames, it would make choosing a wedding venue look like a piece of cake! And let's face it - once we've spent months agonising over guest lists, flowers, seating plans, menus... who really wants to face more admin?
Not Michelle Farren-Handford. As a newlywed herself, she realised the plight of the new bride who has to organise her clothing accounts, ID book, passport and other necessaries into her new name, and all the hassle that goes into finding the right forms to send to the right people at all the different organisations, eek! So she got smart and set up a whole Website to help.
We definitely say ‘I do' to Imamrs.com, where you'll find a database of more than 800 companies, from retail outlets to municipalities and other government departments, as well as loyalty programmes. Michelle has done all the slog of finding the right forms for you, so all you have to do is click on the organisation, download the appropriate document, and send to the contact person mentioned on the site. It couldn't be easier.
(Alas ladies, you'll still have to queue at Home Affairs to make certain changes, but with all the slog-work done, even this nasty task becomes a whole lot more palatable - and besides, with identity theft being a major issue in South Africa, would you really want someone else to do this for you?)
