Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I happily told my parents that my boyfriend proposed to me last night. My dad's response? "Marry that goofy bastard and you're out of the will." FML
Today, I heard my boyfriend talking with my father in the backyard. I thought he was asking for my hand in marriage. He was actually telling him about his plans to break up with me. FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed. I was about to call my parents and tell them we're getting married, but they called me first to announce they're getting a divorce. 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 boyfriend went to ask my dad for my hand in marriage. All I could make out from the door was mumbling, until profanities started flying. My boyfriend shouted "well she's a SINGLE bitch now!" and stormed out of the house. My dad still refuses to tell me what happened in there. FML
Today, my mom called me to tell me she'd got in touch with my ex for his birthday, and that the two of them had made a plan for us to get back together. My new boyfriend was in the process of proposing to me. FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed to me. Everything was going perfectly, right up until he brought me back to his house to tell his family the good news. When I excused myself to the restroom, I overheard his mom say, "I thought you were going to break up with that stupid slut?" Welcome to the family. FML
Today, my dad got so drunk that he proposed to me. FML
Today, I went out for dinner with my parents where they asked me if I was still dating my boyfriend so I answered no. They quickly responded by saying, "Oh so you finally got rid of that douchebag? It's not like he was getting anywhere in life anyways." I answered no because he's my fiancé now. FML
Today, my boyfriend of 4 years proposed to me. I said yes and he gave me an engagement ring. He immediately went to call his mom to tell her the happy news. After the phone call, he asked if he could return the ring because his mom needed money. FML

OP if I were you I'd ask your Dad why he feels this way, maybe he has a good reason and maybe he doesn't. My theory is that he really liked the OP's ex and dislikes the fiance for being the "replacement", I don't know them so I could be wrong but it sounds like the most likely scenario. If the Dad doesn't like him cause their personalities don't click or due to prejudice, or the above reason than he's just going to have to accept it. On the other hand love makes people blind and oblivious so maybe the fiance isn't a good guy and if your friends and family don't like your partner chances are it's for a good reason. OP your Dad is not the only one who disproves of the relationship you need to open your eyes.

Sometimes fathers know best. I wish I would have asked my dad's opinion of my now ex-husband before we got married. He never said one negative thing until I asked just before we separated. And, as always, dad was spot on.
