Father Of The Bride Puns

It was one hell of a barbecue.

"Let me give you some advice for your new marriage. First, decide who will do the dishes. Because if you don't, your marriage will result in many dish-appointments."

So I'm not a dad but I do have fatherly aspirations. I told this joke at a wedding for a friend of mine. All names have changed except the bride's last name- it's a big part of the joke. My buddy we'll call Bob Smith, and his bride is Jane Patton.

After the father of the bride gives his toast, and the best man does his, I grab the mike from the best man and begin. This is as verbatim as I can remember. So I intro myself and promise to keep my comment short and say,

"Bob, I just want to say you're a great friend of mine, like a brother, and one thing I love about you is you're always surprising me. Like today for instance, I didn't know you were an inventor. Lo and behold, you've got your name on a Patton!"

Chuckles, drowned out by groans. I apologize and return to my seat.

I have to give the toast as the Father of the Bride and I'd like to make it bit more entertaining than I am capable of on my own. Does anyone here have some dad level jokes that are good for the occasion? Maybe the Father of the Bride at your wedding made you laugh or groan?

Wedding rehearsal dinner this past Friday. Father-of-the-groom is picking up the tab and the check arrives.

Father-of-the-bride: Hope you've got a good Visa!

Father-of-the-groom: Nope. I'm in the country illegally.

All dads in attendance laugh boisterously. Groom laughs while bride wonders what the hell she's gotten herself into.

The father of the bride had the bride and groom face each other and place his hands on hers.

"Now this is the last time you'll ever have the upper hand."
