There is no valid ground to nullify or to annul your marriage.
Further, the usage of your husband's surname is NOT mandatory. The law, particularly Art 370 of civil code so provides that the married woman "MAY" use the surname of her husband. So, the implication is that it is discretionary and not mandatory.

For short, pwede mo gamitin yung apelyedo mo noong dalaga kapa. Provided, you should disclosed your marital status when required.
