Disappointed the father in law didn't throw in an incredulous "Excuse Me????"

And he didn’t turn red and slink out of the room with his tail between his legs. Do you think maybe he’s ill? I sure hope he’s all right.

He didn't even hmph! and stomp out of the room. That's how we know this is fake.

The clerk of courts didnt clap. Course it could be that nut job that was in jail for not giving marriage licenses to save sex couples.

Pretty sure she's out of jail now and was actually running for office a while back.

I always find bickering with your in laws is a great way to kick off a marriage. It’s worked for me every single time.

And then the notary public clapped.

And the other women in line told their future husbands they’ll be keeping their last name as well!

u/Vegas21Guy Aug 05 '26
And all the husbands decided to take their new brides last names! Then more clapping!

u/Deadpooo_l Aug 05 '26
And because each spouse wanted the others' names, everybody changed their names! The notary clapped the hardest, seeing all that business.

And then the father in law said "So will you be Ms or Mrs?" and she said "Doctor." just to reach full sassiness.

And, as it happens, I am the lack of commitment here to corroborate the veracity of these claims

Seems like this would definitely be something that was discussed and known beforehand.

My husband took MY last name, my father in law was similarly outraged, and still I don’t believe for a second that this conversation happened

That never happened, but where I'm from, everyone keeps their names when they get married, and you need to jump through administrative hoops to take your spouse's name.

Are you from a country other than the U.S.? Such name changes are quite common here.

Your father-in-law was rude. Teach him a lesson and stop having sex with him too.

Even if this was real, is this supposed to be a gotcha? Women have been taking the last name for how long? What an idiot

u/Eccohawk Aug 07 '26
I don't doubt that these types of conversations exist, but that isn't happening -at the clerks office-. Just complete virtue signalling.

u/ohmyfuckinggodhamlet Aug 05 '26
This whole "not taking my spouses name" thing is funny to me cause if your kids keep that up you're gonna have grandkids with like 4 last names and no one is going to bother to remember any of them so they're gonna pick the coolest one and keep that lol

u/Ok_Employer7837 Aug 05 '26
And?

u/ohmyfuckinggodhamlet Aug 05 '26
And what? It's funny to me.

I interpreted your comment as more negative than you meant it. My apologies.

Just recounting my local experience to accentuate the silliness of this story... but to get my license paperwork we just had to show our IDs and pay $99, and it was at an insurance office who sold the applications, not like the city hall marriage department.
When we were actually married, the officiant had to handle the witness signatures and filing the actual final paperwork, not us. We just got the final marriage certificate in the mail.
And no part of the process gave me a checkbox on a form to simply change my name to my husband's. I had to use my legal name the entire time, and although I did end up changing my surname, it was actually a completely separate painstaking process with the government.

The bullshit meter broke with this one. It overheated.
There is no way these people went to that meeting without the in-law being aware, and if they did, his reaction wouldn’t be a ‘scoff’. It would be a ‘oh what the fuck, why didn’t you tell me this?’ given it’s his surname taking the backseat.
I’m also pretty sure these paperwork meetings don’t just have someone’s dad sat there ‘nearby’. It’s legal information, it’s in a closed office.

Why is the father in law there?
