She Thought She’d Surprise Her Dad—But He Stole the Show
“Daddy, I’m coming home to get married soon, so get your checkbook ready. LOL!” That’s how Lilly started her text to her dad, breaking the big news with all the excitement you’d expect from a bride-to-be. She and her fiancé had quite the modern love story: Lilly’s in Australia, he’s in the US, and their relationship blossomed across dating apps, Facebook, and endless chats on WhatsApp.
The proposal? Not your classic knee-drop moment. It happened over Skype. And after just two months of “dating” on Viber, Lilly decided it was time to tie the knot. She wanted her dad’s blessing, good wishes, and, of course, funding for a “really big wedding.”
What she didn’t expect was her dad’s response.
“My dear Lilly,” he began, with a tone so sweet it almost masked the sarcasm that followed. “Like Wow! Really? Cool! Whatever…”
Then came the zinger:
“I suggest you two get married on Twitter, have fun on Tango, register for your stuff on Amazon, and pay for it all through PayPal. And when you get fed up with this new husband, sell him on eBay. Lots of love, Dad.”
Classic dad humor, right? Lilly’s heartfelt announcement was met with a mic-drop reply that perfectly summed up what every skeptical parent might be thinking.
But let’s be real—this text exchange captures the quirks of love in the digital age. When love stories span continents, involve video calls instead of candlelit dinners, and rely on apps more than real-life dates, you’re bound to get a few raised eyebrows—and a laugh or two.
So, what do you think? Is Dad onto something, or is he just having some fun? Share this story with your friends and see what they’d say if it were their daughter!
