Today, I got married. My father saw this as a good time to give some solemn, heartfelt advice to my new husband: "That ring gets real heavy fast." I was standing right there. So was my mother. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got married. When my father gave me away, in front of hundreds of people, to my groom, he said, "She's your problem now." FML
Today, I got married. My mother told me to stop being difficult, because she was the mother of the bride, and it was her day to shine. FML
Today, at our wedding reception my new father-in-law gave his speech, saying his little girl was too good for me. Everyone, including my parents, agreed. FML
Today, my dad got so drunk that he proposed to me. FML
Today, my dad had a chat with my fiancé, telling him he can do better than me, and to think carefully before going through with our wedding. FML
Today, my father, who I rarely see, drove 400 miles to my wedding. I was so happy to see him, until he got completely trashed at my reception, asked me where he could "score some weed" and told me what a bitch my mom was, and how I needed to lose weight. For over an hour. At my wedding. FML
Today, I got married. My dad wanted to see me before the ceremony in my dress. The dress I wore was not my usual kind of dress, strapless. The first thing my dad said, "Ginger! You've got boobs!" Not exactly the father-daughter moment I'd envisioned. FML
Today, as my husband and I were leaving our wedding reception, my mother-in-law hugged me and whispered in my ear, "You're gonna do great tonight!" FML
Today, it was my wedding day. When my soon-to-be-husband was saying his vows, he didn't say my name. He said his mother's. FML
Today, at my wedding reception, my father began his speech with "Well, I never, ever thought that this day would come," at which point the entire room, including my new husband, broke into a round of enthusiastic applause. FML

Congratulations! And hopefully your husband sees things differently than your father

Could of been worse, could have been "The first person the police investigate in murder is the spouse. Tells you something about marriage."

Congrats OP! Don't let your pessimistic father try to make your big day any less incredible.

I can only hope he meant it was heavy with responsibilities. I really doubt that's what he was saying, but it would be nice if it had just been a bad choice of words.

Scumbag dad

maybe he was just testing for a reaction, hopefully he was just joking though.

Who gets married on a Monday morning?

You have to use today in the FML even if the FML happened a few months ago.

even so, It's a great excuse to miss a day from work.

At least you had your dad at your wedding. I just went to a wedding on Saturday where the bride's father had died last year...

I'm sorry but I can't stand it when people try to trivialize others' feelings or experiences because "someone out there has it worse". While that is true, the fact that someone out there has it worse does not invalidate someone else's experiences. The fact that you knew someone whose father died doesn't make what OP's father said any less shitty.

How did you get that from this post?!
rocker_chick23 27
No, it sounds like dad was making a stupid and not funny joke. How does it sound like he was being over-protective?
