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

I like that name plus u will keep ur name so dad and husband is happy

What is this 1950 or something? You don't need anyones "blessing" to get married

YDI because that name is BRILLIANT. I cannot say FYL, I want your surname!

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.

Well, lets hope you don't become widowed.

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.

Looks like you would have a corn Cobb stuck up your ass
