Bride and Groom Settle Surname Debate with Rock-Paper-Scissors at Wedding

London:  A British couple surprised their wedding guests by deciding who would take whose surname with a game of rock-paper-scissors at the altar. The playful moment, caught on video and shared widely on social media, featured the bride, Hunter, and the groom, Pearce, engaging in a best-of-three match. Though Pearce won the first round, it was Hunter who ultimately claimed victory.

The crowd erupted in cheers as the officiant declared, “Congratulations Mr and Mrs Hunter.” The light-hearted approach sparked online debate, with many praising the groom’s sportsmanship and calling it a refreshing break from tradition. Others criticized the move, calling it disrespectful to family legacy.

Despite changing attitudes, data shows traditional surname practices still dominate. A 2023 Pew Research report found that 80% of women in the U.S. take their husband's surname, while UK figures show even higher numbers. The viral moment has become a talking point on gender roles and evolving wedding customs.
