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, 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

Just tell him you kept it and don't, he isn't going to be there when you fill in the paperwork too change your name

People have already said it... Good thing you're a modern, adult woman and can do as you please.

I took his name when I got married because I wanted to be part of him.. But anyways, OP, you're a grown woman, you don't HAVE too. But it's not taboo to do it either, just like its not taboo if a man wants to take a woman's last name. You do what you want OP, it's your name not your dads. And neither is it disrespectful to not take a mans last name, #88.

i think your dad has a sense of humor. my dad would say something similar in that situation. if you seriously dont want to do it talk it out with both men. decide what is really important to all of you. btw i personally think it is extremely sweet that you ask your father's permission. yes, it is the 21st century and women can do whatever they like there is something to be said for respecting elders.
