writes:My best friend had her "wedding" this weekend, well, it was a wedding but she couldn't go through with it.It wasn't because of her groom - he's an absolutely lovely guy. It wasn't because of worries about the wedding - she was so happy to get married to him.It was because of her dad's inappropriate attire - he came to the wedding in a flowery sundress with a straw hat and you could see his hairy legs!All the attention got deflected from her, the bride, to her father, on the front row of the church. An eerie quiet went over the church, then turned to giggles, as people saw her dad in a flowery orange sundress get up and then sit down. He then started dancing before her mum got him to sit down. The look on her face was one of horror.My friend's mum was embarrassed, and her brother was mortified by his dad! My best friend ran out the church in tears, her groom running behind her, asking what was wrong, if anything was his fault, but she said no. I later found out off her that she was upset about the incident during the wedding.In the end, the service got cancelled, and it turned into a party, with her dad being ostracised throughout. She felt too stressed to go to it, so she came back to my place and we had a girly night in watching a DVD to get over it.All I'm wondering is how could he stoop so low as to offend his own daughter?She told me she'd spoken to her mum about it, and her mum had said he's never normally done anything like this, she doesn't understand it.She's also gone back to being engaged, and made this time it's a long one.How can I help her get through this?? I've been a great friend to her, I want to help her get through this and not let her have negative memories.Joanne

 This isn't real. We've had posts about someone's Dad or someone's husband turning up to weddings/parties/nights out in various ridiculous attire lots of times before. If you're going to hoax post then at least make it believable. And then get a life.

 why would anyone run out of her wedding because of her dad's attire? why not cut down the long programme, exchange those vows and run home married.
is she engaged to a new man or her supposed-to-be husband?

What did he do to deserve that? He must be devastated by her running out on him at the altar.

If your friend plans a wedding in the future tell her to make sure it's a really 'quiet' one. A few trusted really good friends in attendance and very few others. Invite who they want, not a list of people drawn up by the mothers of the bride and groom which can be extensive. Being her friend, you could be the one to parcel up lots of little bits of wedding cake - after the event - and send to those who were uninvited but who would have liked to have been.
Bugger the 'big wedding' - they cost a fortune and everyone has a free piss-up plus big eats and the bride & groom pick up the bill. The happy couple would be better to spend their money on a 2 week honeymoon somewhere like Bora Bora in the south pacific.
