Today, it was my engagement party. All was going fabulously, until my fiancé's dad decided to give us a toast, and completely forgot my name in front of all my family and friends. I've been with his son for 7 years. FML

Today, I was at my girlfriend’s family dinner when her father suddenly raised a glass and said, “Let’s all raise a toast to the new couple!” I looked at my girlfriend, confused, only to realize he meant her brother and his now fiancé, who had just announced their engagement an hour earlier. I quickly but awkwardly raised my glass to avoid admitting my memory is dogshit. FML

"To my son getting married to...what's her name again?"

FYL double: (1) He forgot your name. (after 7 years of dating his son) (2) Your Father-in-law (to be) is too stupid to improvise and refer to you as "the bride to be" or "my future daughter-in-law"

coulda been worse. My physics teacher once said that he forgot his wife's name when he was marrying her.

Whoops, that's embarrassing. At least he didn't slip in your husband's ex-girl's name.. ha.

Engagement party equals lots of alcohol.

Dramatic pause for effect? Nah, he just hates you

I don't really blames him, people get nervous and make mistakes. I said "he (referring the the female wife) will make you very happy" at a toast at my brother's wedding. PS! I don't drink.

My future in-laws don't always remember my name either, really it's just a combination of being put on the spot and being older. Sure, a little embarrassing at your engagement party, but it's not the end of the world.

It's really more his FML. You did nothing wrong and I'm certain under ordinary circumstance he would have remembered. It was probably the pressure of the moment, and him trying to remember his prepared toast.
