Dad Can Make Your Wedding Now That The Phillies Aren’t In The World Series, But He’s Pissed Off

After a tough game 4 loss to the Dodgers, your devoted Phillies fan and bandwagon father has finally RSVPed to the wedding invitation you left for him with Mom five months ago. Sources inside your parents’ home report they were trying to get you an answer sooner, but he would only reiterate to them that this was the Phillies’ year and he wasn’t going to jinx anything by making plans. 

While he did finally respond to the request for his presence at your wedding, he could only offer a “maybe,” as his friend “might have tickets to the Eagles game that same weekend.”

Further reports from your parents home suggest if he does attend, it will be under great duress as he has yet to recover from the devastating loss. Negotiations continue nevertheless, with your dad being informed of the open bar. Sources report you have apparently told him he can wear his Harper jersey under the suit, meaning the parties may soon reach a resolution.

When reached for comment on the situation, your father said, “Listen, of course it’s a big deal to me. [My child]’s probably gonna get married two, three times, but who knows if I’ll ever see my Phils win it in October again.”
