Take a random variable $Z$ with the Rademacher distribution, and setBoth marginal distributions equal the law of $Z$ for every $n$. Hence $X_n$ and $Y_n$ each have weak convergence of random variables to $Z$; one may take $X=Y=Z$ on this probability space. But their sums alternate:Indeed, at $t=\pi /2$ their characteristic functions are $-1$ for even $n$ and $1$ for odd $n$, so the sums have no weak limit at all. Separate marginal weak convergence does not imply convergence of the sum. The marginal weak convergence does not control sums counterexample changes the dependence while leaving the marginals fixed. Unlike convergence in probability, separate marginal weak convergence of random variables contains no information about the joint coupling.
