What did Jenny call her dad?
Phil

Mista Pop

What names did Jenny tell Oliver would be better than her real name when she was about to meet Oliver's parents?
Racey Stacey or Hairy Blair

Her father owned a cookie shop and her family didn't have so much money.
Jane Smith or Wonder Woman

A loaf of French bread, goat cheese and salami... smiling and saying, "I brought Paris!"

Phil was loving, non-judgmental and fun; the opposite of Oliver's father, who loved Oliver but didn't know how to show it. Phil called Jenny and Oliver's wedding, "Do It Yourself," as his way of trying to accept a non-Catholic ceremony. He even said, "That's wonderful," in his shock, in order to not give a negative opinion about the godless ceremony.
11th: Don't sleep with my daughter until you marry her.
