OOPs! Well anyway that does give you a few years to get to know if he's good enough for your daughter. Of course he won't be and neither will anyone else be-no one is ever good enough for a Father's daughter.
My Father-in-law just had to lower his standards a little bit-how about yours?
My father-in-law was ex-army and the hoops I had to jump through were many. But once he got to know my politics and my principles.....I was in but good.
Sadly he passed away 4 years ago....He is sorely missed.
