In a heartfelt and humorous exchange, a daughter wrote to her father with exciting news about her upcoming wedding. Writing from Australia, she shared that she had met her fiancé, who lives in the United States, through a dating site, Facebook, and long conversations on WhatsApp. Their relationship grew through video calls and messages, including a proposal over Skype and two months of long-distance communication on Viber.
In her message, she excitedly told her father, “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 replied with surprise and plenty of playful sarcasm. “My dear Lilly, like wow! Really? Cool! Whatever… I suggest you two get married on Twitter, have fun on Tango, register for your gifts 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.”
Their exchange perfectly captures the blend of modern romance and old-fashioned family humor. While the daughter shared her joy and excitement about starting a new chapter, her father responded with wit, teasing her about the digital world that brought the couple together.
The conversation highlights how relationships today are often built across continents and screens, yet still filled with warmth, love, and laughter between family members.
