Deciding whether or not to take your partner’s last name per tradition is a choice every couple must make after getting married. It can be a tough decision, so why not leave it up to fate? That’s exactly what this unique couple did.
Jeff Conley and Darcy Ward from Florida, left the decision up to chance by literally flipping a coin at their wedding. They had a gold medallion personalised to read Darcy’s surname on one side and Jeff’s on another. Whichever end landed face up would be the surname they would share.
Speaking to The Palm Beach Post Jeff said, “It’s fair. I am a graduate student in economics at Florida State and I think about fairness.”
Darcy agreed, adding, “Being with someone who was willing to start the marriage from a creative and fair place felt like a really good first step toward an equal partnership.”
Upon the coin toss, the medallion landed with Darcy’s surname face up, officially making them Mr and Mrs Ward.
Jeff seems to be happy with the decision, saying, “You could say I won. I was the one who received something new.”

Former Miss South Africa Suzette van der Merwe said ‘I do’ to businessman Mark Weston on Pink Beach, New Zealand after a lengthy five year engagement.
Van der Merwe and Weston met six years ago on a blind date and quickly fell in love. They became engaged within a year, and finally tied the knot on December 14, 2019 in Weston’s home country. It was an intimate event, with only Weston’s father and stepmother in attendance.
Huisgenoot‘s latest cover reveals that Van der Merwe wore a princess cut bright pink gown for their nuptials. The couple plan to have a traditional wedding on January 10 in South Africa.
