People reports that the pop princess will be ditching her family name in favor of Pete's, and will hereafter be known as Ashlee Wentz - in private, of course. Professionally, the singer will go by Ashlee Simpson-Wentz.
"I think that that's something that a woman should do when they're marrying a man," Ash told the mag. "It's a tradition that I think is a great tradition."
Oddly enough, Pete doesn't seem to share her insistence on traditional values, claiming he left the decision "completely up to Ashlee". Not that he wasn't flattered, of course - People reports that the bassist lit up when the topic came up, exclaiming "Oh man, I was like upgrade me! The Wentz family, our Christmas card just got upgraded!"
"It feels insane," Wentz said. "It feels unreal."
Don't worry, Pete - you've got the whole rest of your lives to get accustomed to it!
