My sims have the same attitude toward marriage that I do. I quote my mother: "Married is a tax status." I've got a few single moms who find an NPC dude who looks like he's got decent genes and let him "try for baby" with them.
At the same time, though, some of my clans are downright medieval in "legitimizing" their children; the Markov clan, for example, has zero children out of wedlock. The same is true of the Lobos, the Lembecks, the Garamondes, and other characters with significant story arcs. They're kind of the nobility of my simworld.
As for women taking their husbands' names, it happens the majority of the time, but when I've got a woman who had a significant and highly notable life before she got married, she'll keep her own name, as when Jessie Charbonneau married Super Dave Lembeck and kept her own surname. Their kid, however, was Jonathan Lembeck. No hyphenation.
I don't throw wedding parties. "Elope immediately" makes everything "legal" and saves me the annoyance of dealing with NPCs running about.
