Vanessa Minnillo and Nick Lachey said their vows in July, but the 31-year-old decided to make her love even more official on Friday, announcing via Twitter that she changed her last name.

“So.... I'm making it official, and I LOVE my "new name"! @VanessaLachey.... has a nice ring to it,” Vanessa tweeted of her new surname before the weekend.
