A bride-to-be has had the excitement of planning a wedding dented as she realized what her initials will be if she takes her future husband's last name.
Getting married is - usually - a time of joy as a happy couple plans the celebrations of what is likely to be one of the biggest days of their life.
Often the bride-to-be will take the husband's last name - though this seems to be done less and less as society progresses and moves away from traditionalist norms.
However, if Kathryn, who posts under @keiththebride on TikTok decides to adopt her partner's last name, it will give her initials with an incredibly sinister meaning.
Posting an initially cryptic video, the bride-to-be wrote over a video of herself looking concerned: "When I tell people what my initials after my wedding will be..."
The caption of the video instructed confused viewers to look at her profile to find out what her initials would be, but she also posted a follow-up video explaining.
With Kathryn being her first name, and her future husband having the surname Keith, it was revealed that her middle name is Keller, leaving her initials to be KKK.
For those unsure why this is a problem, the letters KKK are often used for the Ku Klux Klan, a white supremacist group who were responsible for horrific hate crimes, and that exists on a much smaller scale today.
Kathryn revealed to viewers that this is a horrific set of circumstances and that she has considered changing her middle name, but she is struggling to work out what to change it to.
Viewers of the video were equally mortified, with one person saying: "omg... are u gonna change ur middle name / if so, have u decided to what?"
Some were on hand to offer solutions, with someone suggesting: "If middle name is Keller, what about Ellery or Elle to keep as many letters similar as possible?"
A third person added: "Change it to Eller! Just remove the K and it still kind of sounds the same."
If all else fails, she might just have to ditch the middle initial entirely and go by Katherine Keith instead - or come up with something completely different.
It's certainly an unfortunate position to be in, and hopefully, it'll be resolved by the big day!
