USA, Canada / Marriage laws: dual citizenship (Polish and US) preparing to get married to an American. [65]

What is the tradition regarding a polish woman taking on the mans first name as their last name.

EG: Ben Mark Schmidt...wife to be becomes Roselyn Maria Ben (instead) of schmidt.

Is this true...I was told it was the custom. Sounds just not quite right.

If anyone could answer this for me I would appreciate it. Thanks.
