Does that apply for my wife as well? We are not sure how it all works regarding the name changes.

In Norway it has to be made official by an application to the national register, which in normal cases is granted without any fuss. I think deciding the name is one of the things you do during the preparation of the wedding documents but am not 100% sure.
Congratulations on a succesful wedding and a great honeymoon!
Two weeks now and still happily married, many don't last even that long you know. Keep it up!

It works for any name change under any circumstance. She's only 'Watts' or whatever after the wedding since that's what she's chosen to call herself from that point in time - there's nothing inherent in a wedding that changes your name. You could legally start calling yourself Mr & Mrs Stinky-DogsNads from today, and that would be your official name.
Plus, it would be double-barrelled and therefore cool.
Welcome to the world, you are now officially Mr and Mrs Stretton-Watts!

Is that actually true? I thought that there were some rules - ie you can't bestow yourself with a title nor can you have something offensive or with silly punctuation/characters.
A lot of companies asked to see copies of our wedding certificate before they would change my wife's name on things.

Yes, but that's their own company policy.

Congratulations
Here in Luxembourg it's just the opposite with the name, the man one's name comes first, then the woman's. Therefore it would be Watts-Stretton.
