A friend of mine once said to me, “Whenever it rained badly, I would rather my motorcycle stay the night than my girlfriend.” Crazier things have been said by riders, or rather, fanatics. So, to hear that a man chose a ride with buddies over his daughter’s nuptials…I’m afraid to say it, but I’m not surprised. And now understanding the conditions of this choice - he’d lost $22.5k when she canceled her first destination wedding, only to go on the trip anyway to take “revenge photos,” part of me was sympathetic.
But then again, life’s about choices.
The father chose to bring up a kid who didn’t appreciate money, people, or a classy exit. He could have also told his clearly ungrateful daughter that “revenge photos” are for people who can fund their own vacations, to Puerto Rico in this case. Then, instead of taking this as a teachable moment (for both of them) where they could bond over being annoying and possibly have a chance to grow, he exited stage left for a not really once-in-a-lifetime ride to Glacier National Park.
