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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my father-in-law decided to disown myself and his son, because my husband decided to hyphenate his last name. 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’m getting married. My friends are all telling me that I’m not a “true feminist” since I’ve opted to change my last name to his. My last name is “Belcher.” 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
Today, my mother beamingly asked for my opinion on her wedding dress. She is engaged to her cousin. Conveniently, they already have the same last name. FML

It's doubtful that the father was being completely serious, and like the fiancé thought that it would be an "epic" name.

I agree with your fiancé. That would be pretty epic... I still don't think you should do it though lol

I didn't ask my fiancée's parents. It didn't occur to me. In retrospect that is good because her mother would not have said yes.

When I got engaged I viewed surname choice like a negotiation. Both my other half and I would say what we wanted and find common ground. I would ask that we had the same surname, whether she changed hers or I changed mine and that the name wasn't a double surname. Turns out I over thought it because she wants to take my name

I find your condition saddening solely because of your fiancée's use of "epic".
