A Daughter’s Digital Love Announcement
When the message appeared on his phone, it seemed innocent enough—exciting, even. A daughter coming home, a wedding on the horizon, a milestone every parent imagines. But as he read on, excitement gave way to disbelief, then amusement, and finally laughter at just how modern love has become.
The text read:
“Dad, I’ll be coming home soon to get married, so you might want to have your checkbook ready. Just kidding—LOL! As you know, I’m living in Australia and he’s in the United States. We met on a dating website, became friends on Facebook, and spent countless hours chatting on WhatsApp. He proposed over Skype, and we’ve been in a long-distance relationship for two months…”
The father’s eyes widened with each line, but the punchline was still to come:
“I figure you two could just get married on Twitter, hang out on Tango, create your gift registry on Amazon, and pay for everything through PayPal. And if things don’t work out with this new husband, you can always sell him on eBay. Love you, Dad.”
Conclusion
What began as a heartfelt announcement quickly became a playful commentary on digital romance. The daughter’s message blends affection with humor, showing that while technology may change how people meet and fall in love, family bonds—and a good laugh—remain timeless.
