This is a question for an attorney, really. What would matter more legally, is that finances and property etc are kept separate, not so much as a name change. Again, consult an attorney.

I'm 63, and if I ever chose to remarry I'd definitely keep my name, affairs, as near the same as prior to marriage as possible because in this day/time of confusion and changes, one needs to help the data processors and government/insurance/banks, etc., as much as possible, especially at our age. Congratulations and God bless you in your adventure! : )

When I got married young I took my ex's last name. Then when we divorced I immediately went back to my birth name. And now that I'm older I would never give up my birth name. Especially since both of my parents are dead. Why would I take the name of a man's family when they aren't even blood relatives. My father's family name is more important to me. But then I don't plan to ever get married again either. I like having everything just in my name & having complete control.

When I got married at 50+ I kept my maiden name, because this is my professional name. It causes a bit of confusion occasionally - but then I can always call myself by a hyphenate - i.e., first name, maiden/professional name, hyphen, husband's last name. (In Europe it was illegal not to use your husband's last name when married & my sister had to insert here maiden/professional name as sort of a middle name before her husband's name.)
