Today, my father gave me his blessing to be married on one condition: that I keep my maiden name when I marry. My fiancé thought it would be "epic". My last name will be hyphenated to Cobb-Webb. FML

Today, my boyfriend asked me to marry him, saying that the only thing he would change about me is my last name. I later told him that I wanted to keep my last name after the marriage. I'm now single again. FML
Today, I told my family that I wanted to change my last name to my future wife's. We want to have the same last name, and we chose hers because she is an only child, while I have three brothers. Half of my family is laughing and calling me "pussy whipped" while the other half won't speak to me. FML
Today, it was my wedding day. When my soon-to-be-husband was saying his vows, he didn't say my name. He said his mother's. FML

Today, I was talking to a new friend when I told him my last name. It’s hyphenated. He then left and declared me to be a "stuck-up bitch" who thinks she’s "too good to take a man’s last name." This is the name I was born with. FML
Today, I got married. When my father gave me away, in front of hundreds of people, to my groom, he said, "She's your problem now." FML

Why do you need your father's blessing. You're an adult, you can do what you want with your name. It's your life, don't let others run it for you

maybe she wants her father to help her pay for the wedding?

First of all, your parents don't get to decide what you should do. I had an ex I dated for a while who considered doing the same thing because of her father. I did not appreciate that. Second, your fiance is hilarious :D

Yeah you don't need his permission and you don't have to keep your maiden name. Grow a pair you're An adult.

I can see the irony of her father being happy to give a 'blessing' (which is patriachal - the idea that a woman has to have the approval of a male authority figure to do something such as get married) but requesting that she keep her last name (often seen as a progressive thing to do and indicates that the woman is not property of her husband). Of course, it's her father who is imposing the progressive action in order to give the patriachal one...
