Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. She said, "Sure, but not yet." As we've been together for five years, I was a bit confused, but she cleared that up with, "Not until your dad has died, I don't want him to ruin my wedding with a bad toast." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend at a dinner with our two families. Not only did she flatly reject me, my dad said, "Good call. He's not ready." FML
Today, after my girlfriend telling me for years that she would marry me in a heartbeat, I finally proposed. She said no. FML
Today, my girlfriend of two years finally agreed to marry me. As I went on with the proposal, her Grandma tried rejecting me by saying, "These guys have gangster friends." FML
Today, I told my boyfriend of ten months that I'm not ready for marriage. A few hours later he proposed at my grandma's 85th birthday party. She cried when I said no. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend of 6 years. She said no. Why? She's already married. FML
Today, my girlfriend rejected my proposal, claiming she refuses to get married until she finally finds her dad, so he can walk her down the aisle. Babe, he walked out when you were 7 and hasn't been seen or contacted you since. Just say you don't wanna marry me so we can both move on. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. She got incredibly excited and started flapping her hands around. Then she suddenly went deadpan and said, "But seriously… No." FML
Today, I think my boyfriend of 5 years is going to propose soon. He told me he was thinking about it last year, and spoke to his parents, who said they wouldn't attend the wedding as "It's not their thing." My dad passed away in November and I don't talk to my mum, so I have no one to be excited with and share the news. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend in public. She happily said yes, and the surrounding crowd cheered for us. About 10 minutes later, after the excitement died down, she leaned over and quietly said, "Actually, I don't want to marry you. I only said yes so I wouldn't disappoint the crowd." FML
Today, after pouring my heart out to my girlfriend of four years through a speech that took me three weeks to write, and then proposing, she responded, "Eh, why not." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

tigerbite 3

Right? Someone could sneeze and they say to break up with them.

Maybe people are saying break up with the bitch because she won't marry OP until his dad dies?? Sounds pretty ****** up to me. I'd ditch the bitch too.

There's also the fact that her reason is because of the freaking reception toast. It isn't about becoming his daughter in law. Bitch x3.

Orrrrrrrrrr...... The girlfriend was cruelly jesting. *everyone gasps* "But, she had to be 100% serious, she just had to be! :O" "This wouldn't have been a FML if she wasn't serious! >:(" "OP wouldn't put it up if she was jesting, like..... duh! >:/" Okay, you convince me. She was 100% serious, she's a total bitch and deserves to live forever alone. (sarcasm)

Unless she was joking, OP needs to run. This woman is a monster and OP should count himself lucky that he got this warning before he married her. Run OP. Anyone that would deny a parent the ability to see his son marry so she doesn't have to hear a bad speech is a terrible human being.

Even if her response was a joke it was cruel to joke about why the proposal was turned down like that. If it wasn't a joke I would have played the smack a bitch for $5 game. Any woman willing to smack her would win $5.

Going to play devils advocate a little. What if op's dad is a dick? It's FML, I'm sure we know toasting horror stories. What if he hates her and would dimmed negatively towards her, or get drunk and embarrass them?

I am not for people saying to break up with someone over the small things, however making a comment like that is beyond unacceptable.

Soooooooo, 64, because he might get drunk or be an ass, that justifies not having the wedding UNTIL is dead? I've seen a few of your comments and I have to say, you seem a bit sexist. My dad and my brother are huge assholes, but I didn't exclude them from my wedding. And if my wife had suggested it, I wouldn't be married today. Being married comes with all the perks and flaws. Especially the siblings.

Or just say, "Ok, let's wait for your mom to die, too. This wedding must be PERFECT."

That should be a show.

Way to start off the engagement

What engagement? Hopefully he dropped her faster than a hot potato fresh out of the oven.

Ditch the Bitch Completely!

Why can't you just tell your dad to not do a toast? Or to not make it embarrassing for you both? Her saying she is waiting for him to die is selfish and bitchy.

Whilst I can understand her not wanting the big day to be "ruined" by a bad toast that's uh... A whole other level.
