Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, my boyfriend told me it wasn't working out and he was breaking up with me. The reason? I have the same first and last name as a very unpopular girl, and he gets embarrassed when people mistakenly assume he's going out with her. FML
Today, my wife told me the main reason she married me is because I have a cool last name. FML
Today, my boyfriend of a couple of weeks mixed up my name with his ex-wife's name. After he said it, he looked at me and said, "You knew it was going to happen." FML
Today, I found out that my boyfriend of two years is dating another girl. Not only do she and I share the same hair and eye color, but we also happen to have the same first name. 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 got married. After the ceremony, my sister asked to talk to me. I followed her and she told me that we are no longer related because we don't have the same last name anymore. 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, my fiancé told me he wished he never met me and that he wished I didn't exist. Our wedding is next week. FML
Today, my father-in-law decided to disown myself and his son, because my husband decided to hyphenate his last name. FML

He can still marry you, but you don't get the hassle of changing your name on driving licence, bank cards etc. That's brilliant!

"You know that means I can't kiss you, because we have the same last name and that would be incest"

That's a bad point on his part. Marriage is more than a new last name.

My second cousin's baby daddy has the same last name. My family jokes about it from time to time.

Lol, name changing is - should be - the last reason anyone should have for marrying. It seems like he isn't interested, for the time being. If you guys are under 30 that's generally understandable. Here's to the women who keep their original surnames. That's a thing, too! :)

In the tv series “friends”,Chandler had to go to Yemen to escape from his girlfriend. I think OP’s boyfriend was just kidding, if not, he’s smarter than Chandler.

My aunt and uncle had kidda the same last name, she just had to drop one l as he uses one and she uses two. If that's the reason give him all the advantages of marriage as a joke
