In a heartfelt and lighthearted exchange, a daughter recently reached out to her father with exciting news about her upcoming wedding. Writing from Australia, she shared that she and her fiancé, based in the United States, had connected online through a dating site, Facebook, and long chats on WhatsApp. Their relationship, which included a proposal via Skype, has now progressed over two months of long-distance communication via Viber.
Her message to her father read: “Daddy, I’m coming home to get married soon, so get your checkbook ready. LOL! I need your blessing, good wishes, and a really big wedding. Lots of love, Lilly.”
Her father responded with a blend of humor and surprise: “My dear Lilly, Like Wow! Really? Cool! Whatever… 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.”
The exchange highlights both the playful rapport between father and daughter and the modern ways families navigate long-distance relationships, blending heartfelt emotions with a touch of digital-age humor.
