Last name didn't change after getting married.
I moved two sims in together and when they got married, the female still has the same last name she did before they got married, and their child has her last name.

I changed my name last year for reasons unrelated to marriage, and it was a huge hassle to get my records updated everywhere. In fact just today I had to wait on hold with my rental insurance company because they hadn't answered my online inquiries about changing the name on my policy... In any case, I don't think any woman or anyone else should be automatically expected to take their spouse's last name. That's a very outdated concept.
I liked having the option for any Sim to change their name at City Hall in Sims 3. I also like the option now given of changing it through CAS in this version. I think that new ability should be made more clear to players who don't know about it though, and are expecting the spouse's name to change based on who proposed as in previous versions.
