Wedding planning is never easy, especially when it comes to last names. A groom-to-be recently shared his dilemma on Reddit – his fiancé wants to keep her last name instead of taking his, and even suggested that their first son carry her last name instead. The groom is the last male in his family to carry his name and it’s important to him to pass it down to his children. He’s made several sacrifices for his fiancé, including converting to Catholicism and moving closer to her family. However, he draws the line at compromising on his last name. The situation is complicated by the sudden appearance of his fiancé’s biological father, who she previously described as a piece of garbage. Now that he’s back in her life, she’s changed her tune and wants him to be more involved in the wedding, even suggesting that he walk her down the aisle. The groom is understandably upset and feels that his fiancé is being influenced by her father. What will happen next? Stay tuned for the comments and reactions.
