Today's OneWord: Delighted

I would have been absolutely delighted to attend the wedding, had it not been for the fact that I hadn't even been invited. It certainly didn't help the matter that this was my best friend's wedding, and it was her father - a corncob pipe-smoking, cowboy hat-wearing, silver-bearded narcissist from the Bible Belt - who was barring me from ever sitting by the aisle, let alone being a part of the wedding party.

"He's just jealous that you have a better relationship with your wife than he has with his," my other friend Jack tried to joke. And I tried to smile. But it hurt too much.
