When I told my father a”h, “what would you say if I told you that I was dating …” he said “I would say you could do better”. My father was a baker and he worked at night so he missed a little bit of what was going on. So then I said “what would you say if I told you that I was engaged to ….” he took me in his arms and said “Mazel tov! We should have much nachas from the both of you!”
But he was still a character. On the way to chupah he whispered in my ear. “the car is right out front, just say the word and we turn around and go the other way. I can have you out of here in 10 minutes.”
When I told my sister, she said he told her the same exact thing.
