Grandfather Objected and Never Lived it Down
“My grandfather humorously objected to my parents marrying, despite having given them his blessing. He held up a photo of my dad with two black eyes, a bleeding cheek and a muddy face (university rugby game) and asked the wedding crowd “would you let this man marry your daughter?” Everyone laughed and said no, years later us kids still hear the story at family gatherings.
20 years on when my grandad moved dad mailed the new neighborhood photos of my 70yo grandfather with pink dyed hair with the caption “would you let this man live in your neighborhood?” We didn’t find out till weeks later, and that’s how I learned that revenge is a dish best served cold.”
