If you have feelings and know how to be ashamed and embarrassed why did you two do it??? This is your own doing. What others think shouldn't concern you if you didn't care about any of this. Now you do? Too late.

[@foodie1151]

At the end of the day, as long as you’re happy. Believe it or not, it’s more common now.

[@nkaujnag23]

same last name marriage without any blood related is still better then marrying your cousin. phauj nxthais yuav dab laug tub or vice versa is blood related. so even though you have the same last name but no blood related then it should be ok

[@MeeKaZKT]

I mean, back in the days hmong people were allowed to marry same last name, but then all of a sudden a recognized leader said no to that, but yes to multiple wives... whatever benefited them at the time.

[@lenakong5063]

Very interesting and different story. I'm glad that you both came to a realization of our culture. Wishing you both the best.

[@ElleLauj]

Great story and the first of its kind. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with the world after your experience.

[@maliemay]

You do sacrifice a lot. Everything that you know of and proud to be falls around you. Hope you all heal

[@BossPolly]

It’s ok to marry your own last name better than first cousin.

[@user-bw9ro3jz4v]

Maybe you guys do not love each other like you guys think? Or maybe your love is not strong enough to overcome all the obstacles? You guys let your fears get to you from what I hear from your stories. Ya scared of death (funeral arrangements). Ya are embarrassed because no one wants to date your kids (marry into the family). You guys let people get into your mind (how they think and view you). Regardless of marrying same last name or not, people is gonna find ways to talk, spread rumors, complain about your children dating others, death arrangements, etc. Its just based on how strong is your love for one another. I'm just glad that the both of you guys are happy now.

[@kellyxiong8739]

I feel bad for the kids only. They're the ones who have to pay the consequences. It's unbelievable it took you 30 plus years to realize it actually hurts.

[@xiongandcheng]

It's hard but you 2 love each this long already. Stay strong and love each other that's all it matters

[@pvang5650]

I feel sorry for them. It’s all in their heads. It’s the guilts that is eating them from the inside out.

[@bluewhisper5008]

You guys didn't love each other enough to fight it through. I know many other couples who are of same last name and they're in their 60s still happy. Kuv muaj family member they're married same last name and everyone loves them. They have been married for almost 30 years and have beautiful kids, good paying jobs and everyone loves them.

[@myprecious6751]

LMFAO...marrying your own last name being cousin. Brother, you live in America. There are lots of cases where cousins marry cousins. It's no difference than you marrying your aunt daughter. So what's the big deal marrying the same last name? Do not give a F about what other's think or their opinions. Long as you're happy after all it is your life. Continued to be happy and love those who love you.

[@tseemciasiablauj4072]

You can choose to do whatever you want (marry same last name) but others have a right to feel however they feel too. Accept the consequences of your actions.

[@chang3568]

Nothing wrong with dating your last name brother as long as yall not related. Life is too short to care about people's opinion. Go to church and forget about small minded people.

[@eachcha7666]

Wow. I always wanted to hear this story. Thanks

[@haivneegkeej2674]

I think I know/see this couple stories 😊

[@JoeDong-jw4lc]

You two gave up the fight too ez. I will break it down how I see it. 1. Before General Vangpao, same last name marriage was ok! 2. To those OG who don't agree on same last name marriage, stay where you are but please show support for your kids. Better than let them go hang themselves because you afraid of losing face. 3. As a couple, you two needs to show the world that same last name marriage is not shameful. You two need to do more and beyond. Don't be lazy. Every event you two need to show up and help out from dust to dawn. Don't live a closed door life. Be a roll model and prove them wrong that same last name marriage is not bad. Lastly, my next door neighbor is also Hmong and they are Xiong married to Xiong. I don't see it as a shameful thing. As long as they love each other then that's all it matters. He invited me to drink with him here and there. And I did the same. Remove those people who give you negativity. Life is too short to be negatively towards others or even your own life. Don't be shameful to what you have instead be happy. Good luck with your life and new wife.

One question, why even start ? After all that you two just gave up 🤦‍♂️.

[@iTek14]

While sharing the same surname before marriage isn't typical in most cultures, there's no inherent problem with marrying someone who happens to have the same last name, as long as you're not closely related. I fully support your decision.

[@menavue9633]

U guys didnt do a wedding, so dont expect people to call u their son-in-law or bro-in-law. And for ur kids, it would be best they date outside race to prevent heart breaks. Since u love ur wife very much, dont ever be ashame of u both last name. Live proudly and happily. U both knew from the beginning and u both chosen this lonely path…so dont complain when people dont want to be around u guys. Bro, we live in America now. Go get ur wife. If u both love each other, u both can be there for each other. Dont depend on others to help u. Friends, relatives, etc has their own lives too. If something goes wrong with u, most of the time, ur spouse is the one who will be there for u. What a waste of life…Stop caring about what other people say about u guys. Sadly, u had made ur choice. As long u guys are happy is fine.

[@kelbra3689]

In a time where so many are in support of gay/lesbian marriage and encourages the idea that boys can be girls and girls can be boys, marrying an unrelated person with the same last name should not be a problem at all.

[@gaohmoob6816]

As long as you two love each other that is what's most important. It will be tough on your kids because the stigma is still here, sorta, but I do see it starting to change. If their lover truly loves them nothing can stop them. People always have something to say regardless. Even having a divorced parent people deny. Nothing will satisfy people knowing nothing is perfect.

You have to be proud of what you choose/have chosen. But you failed in the end because you cared too much about what anyone else thoughts. There’s nothing taboo about marrying a stranger that happens to be same last name. Hmoob peeps marry first blood related cousins for crazy sakes. That should be what’s called taboo!

[@dejnagxyooj1752]

You are free to make decisions for you, but you’re not free to face the consequences.

Not that I agree with having relations with someone who is of the same clan, but I think it is better than those who marry their first cousins. Someone who is of your last name, but their bloodlines and genes have been diluted from yours from multiple generations is the lesser of two evils than someone who is your aunt/uncle's kid, but yet the latter is not a taboo!!!

It just hmong back ,than I feel like even the same last name if ya don't share the same grandpa and grandma or great grandparents it shouldn't matter. Cause back than hmong make village with the same family so they used that verse to keep there kids from dating. But now it's different.

[@az00001]

Same surname marriage has been a known issue among most East Asians and Hmong happens to be in the same boat. As traditions, it brings shame and embarrassment to both families. However, in China and Korea, there has been a law that have passed that as long as there are no bloodline within their relatives, then it is fine for same surname marriage. I think the time has changed and it should be fine. But that does not mean that you can take advantage of this and start dating your immediate sisters, mothers status, and worst of all the grandmothers, neices, granddaughters status. It can be very disgusting, although it feels right for both of you. Plus, becuase our Hmong community is still very small compare to other ethnic, and if it is not true love, then it is best not to even date your own same last name to avoid all this. Example surnames: Vang, Wang, Wong, Huang, Vuong, Va, Vong, Fang, etc are all the same family tree although we may be considered a different ethnic due to centuries of isolations and segregations.

[@Niamtswv00109]

It’s so unfortunate that you two allowed other peoples opinions dictate your relationship and your entire lives. Hmong people are so backwards. They will allow siblings children to marry each other but not allow two people with the same last name who are not even related get married. 🙄🙄🙄🙄 makes no sense. You should have just listened to your hearts but i understand what the community did to you both. They made you feel like outcasts. They were wrong.

A fully man or matured man should be able to know and control what is right and wrong with the tradition or culture or even religion. And must be able to distinguish between things say social life, love, and religion, etc. In this case LOVE win everything, but not last forever. If one of the two knew that what they did was wrong traditionally or culturally that person should not make the first move or taking the very first step.
