Today, I texted my dad and told him I was getting married in five months. His reply? "I gotta work that day." FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my dad, who lives hours away, called and told me he was getting married. Today. As in this evening. Guess I'm not invited. FML
Today, my father got married. He left me a voicemail to tell me all about it. FML
Today, I texted my mom asking how she was doing. Apparently she's great, and on her honeymoon. I didn't know she was getting married, or that my parents had just gotten divorced. FML
Today, my dad said he can't go to my graduation because he has to work. He got fired a month ago. FML
Today, my dad had something to tell me. He'd cleaned out my bank account to pay off 38,000 dollars worth of gambling debt. My wedding is in 5 months. FML
Today, I looked at my father's Facebook for the first time in a month to see a status saying, "Making wedding plans!" Really? When was he planning on telling his own daughter? FML
Today, I called my dad to tell him my boyfriend had proposed to me, and that we're planning on being married this summer. He was surprised at the short engagement, so I said, "Well, we're almost 30." Dad replied, "Wow, I left your mom when I was 35!" So not the conversation for that information, Dad. FML
Today, my girlfriend sent out a mass text to everyone on her contact list. She's getting married in a month. I didn't propose to her. FML
Today, I got a text message. It said, "I'm so drunk. What you up to, girl?" It was my dad. FML
Today, I was playing my bass clarinet around the house. I asked my dad if he would be at my concert on December 16th. His response was, "No, I'm working that day." My dad is a plumber, and gets called to work completely at random; he has no schedule. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

YDI for texting him that. If you're gonna tell your dad you're getting married, at least call him, FFS.

Well then he just may have to cancel work that day but if its a trip that he cant cancel or reschedule then you will have to set a different date. Plain and simple

I actually wonder if maybe the dad replied that because he got pissed at receiving such big news in something so insignificant as a text message. I could easily see many people having done that, if their daughter had been that tactless. (And still have gone to the wedding, but just as a way to tell her she shouldn't give such big news this way, or they'll be taken as pointless.)

did he JUST find out you were getting married? what about the engagement?

If you had been engaged for a while, just texted to let him know the specific date, than FYL. If you hadn't told him you were engaged YDI. "BTW, Dad. I'm getting married in 5 months, and here's when" by text message is pretty rude.
