in Chinese weddings, neither the bride or the groom change their family
names.  the Anglicised version is often changed just because it is
traditional in western societies.  my mother's Chinese and Anglicised
family names did not change but very few people outside the family know
that.  to every one she is introduced to, she is Susie Chong.
