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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

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

At least he didn't say, "the leading cause of divorce is marriage."

My dad said that to me and my husband, but I know he was just joshing us

My mom said it to my brother right after he proposed...she was not joking. It was really awkward.

He was probably joking. Brides get so sensitive on their wedding days. Even if he was serious, just tune him out. Something like that shouldn't tank your special day.

Seriously? I sure hope those words don't get taken to heart...but I can see him having a dumbfounded expressiob

I don't quite understand the statement the father said, somebody explain?

Like dragging around a heavy ball and chain.

As in, you'll find out soon enough that she is the center of your universe only because she is a black hole sucking you into the frozen depths of hell. Or so I'm told.

The responsibilities that come with getting married is quite a burden to bear. Perhaps the father was trying to tell the newlywed that marriage is not a situation where you can't enter unprepared.

#66, if that were the message he was trying to convey, maybe at the wedding was a little late. He should have had that talk with them right after they announced their engagement. And maybe in a better way that "that wedding ring will get heavey".

It's just an honest warning from one man to another to remind him to stay faithful because things can pile up quickly.

Which then ensued a family fist-fight.

Then you both slapped him upside the head right?

Did you read the FML? Or just comment blindly hoping to be somewhat relevant? If you're thinking he meant the wife getting heavy, you need to re-read the FML. Either way, you're a dumbass.
