Language / "-ska" Polish last name different from "-ski"? [15]

Dzien dobry!

I hope someone can give me some advice or if there has been anyone else in the same situation as me please? I am an English girl and I will be marrying my Polish fiance in the next couple of months in Poland. I have confirmed that I will be taking his last name which will end in "-ska" but i'm just worried that when it comes to changing all of my passport and documents etc back in England they might get a bit funny that our surnames are not the same? I understand that because I am a woman I have the "ska" ending and the man takes the "ski" ending but i'm not sure if this rule applies here even though it will be written on my marriage certificate. Urgh so confusing!

We will be living in England for one more year then moving completely to our house in Poland so thats why I want to take the "-ska" surname so that it makes sense.

My OH has told me not to worry and I'm sure it will be ok but I just need a bit of reassurance really, or someone who has been in the same situation!

Thank you in advance!
