@mrmavens_
So why are you telling us. You should be telling your man friend
@AginaFranky
Why can she sacrifice for the family by finding man who will give her belle and born for ur family so ur papa name won’t be wiped out while doing this u can maintain ur papa name…..
@Darlkeny200
Don’t get married then, get pregnant and keep having kids under your dad’s name. It’s not another person’s son’s responsibility to continue your father’s legacy.
@redchampagnebox
That “when” may never come if i were you. The best thing is not to marry at all. Just relax in your father’s house and born as many kids as you want. All of them will bear your father’s name. A queen and more.
@james_harmless
Then go and marry a man, pay his groom price. Keep him in your father’s house.🙄🙄
