Wedding Name Change Advice!?

I live in WV, not exactly a state that is current with the times, but it's just as easy for a man to change his name as a woman. My friend & her husband did this. He was given the last name of a man who wasn't his biological father, he was also the only one in the family with this name, so e had no connection to it at all. When they got married, he did exactly what a woman would do. He took a copy of his license to the social security office, got a new card, then had his ID changed. It was no problem for them at all.
