Love: Today, the day before my wife and I leave for our 1 year anniversary...

Today, the day before my wife and I leave for our 1 year anniversary trip, I realized my passport expires in 2014, not 2015. Instead of a week's stay at an all-inclusive resort in the Dominican Republic, we'll be spending three days in Louisville. Three angry days in Louisville. FML

Today, after months of planning and saving for our honeymoon in Italy, my wife and I were turned away at the airport because my passport only has a month until it expires, even though it's only a five-day trip. FML

Today, my husband told me that he can't find his passport. We're supposed to be leaving for Prague in two days. He's known about the trip for months. It was the anniversary vacation that was going to help our frayed relationship. Now my money is going to a hotel in Prague, but I'm not. FML

Today, I went to the airport to start the amazing 3 week vacation in Costa Rica that I've been saving for and planning for more than a year. They wouldn't let me on the plane because my passport expires in less than 6 months. FML

Today, I woke up excited for my trip to Jamaica with my friends. We went to the airport, and I gave them my passport to check in. They gave it back. It had expired three weeks ago. I watched my friends board the plane while I'm stuck in the city. FML

Today, after cancelling work, arguing with my family, scrambling to pack my bags, speeding to the airport and filling in immigration forms to fly out to have a much needed holiday, I wasn't allowed to check in. My passport has less than 6 months away from expiration on it. Yes, that's a thing, apparently. FML

Today, after we got married five months ago, my wife and I planned a trip to France and Spain as a honeymoon. We’re supposed to be leaving on Saturday. She just told me last night, “I am so not looking forward to the trip.” FML

Today, my in-laws decided they were going to stay an extra week during our vacation to Dominican Republic next year. This would be fine, if we weren't travelling for our destination wedding, and the extra week wasn't our honeymoon. They are literally joining us on our honeymoon. FML

Today, I finally received my passport. Too bad my flight to Italy left last week. FML

Today, I went with my girlfriend to the airport for some much needed vacation time. We arrived on time but were stopped at the gate when they told me I didn't have the right passport. The plane left without me. My girlfriend did too. FML

Today, my family and I were coming back from a trip to the US. As we reached the border patrol we realized that we were one passport short. The border patrol lectured us for 30 minutes about how irresponsible we were for not realizing that they had forgotten to give us one of our passports back. FML

If I was your wife I would definitely be going to the Dominican Republic by myself!

Almost had a similar problem with my boyfriend. We tried to go get a passport twelve days before our trip, we received the passport the day before we were leaving.

I'd be angry too. I HATE when people don't double check important things and plan in advance. Especially when this laziness costs money and/or time, because I'm guessing you won't be getting the money back on the original trip.

I was there this morning! A lady honked at me because I wouldn't turn right on red while people who had the right-away were coming through the intersection. Other than that, I had a good time!

That sucks, but where you go for your honeymoon, as long as you're with someone you love it shouldn't matter. Enjoy the time you have with that person. :)

If you go to the passport office with your tickets in hand showing them when you leave and explain to them that you were unaware of the issue till now, you can get your passport made that same day for about a $70 fee along with what the passport normally cost. I had to do this and I witnessed a family of five who was on vacation in the same office getting their same day passports.
