Becoming a Garde?

The fiance asked whether i will be adding his family name 
to my official documents
after the wedding
I told him i will stay a Chen because it will be troublesome
to change my identity card, passport, bank account 

In Singapore
is rare to hear someone adding their husband's family name to official documents
occasionally i do see on namecards and emails
but i dont think its an official change

I read on a blog
for this lady who married a scottish
and she change her identity card
to add in her husband's family name.
Hmm..is it a western concept??
but she did it since she is changing her identity card
and it seems to be a fairly easy and cheap procedure

I am a little tempted now to do so
maybe so that i will survive better in france
where people can address me as mrs garde
and it sounds cool when singaporeans wont know how to address me
hehe

should i?
