Re: Did your FH ask your fathers/mothers permission?

My dad travels almost five days a week on business. FH found out he would be at home for a few days and flew from NY to Chicago to meet with my dad for an afternoon (all unbeknownst to me) and ask for his permission. with my parents living half way across the country, i think it was really important to my dad to feel like he was involved in some way in this important moment in my life

Re: Did your FH ask your fathers/mothers permission?

My dad was living in Florida then and he'd never met him, so he actually sent him an email!

He asked my mom too though.

Re: Did your FH ask your fathers/mothers permission?

FH told my dad a month before that he was going to ask me. My dad was funny and told him that he didnt have to ask or tell him anything that we should do what we want to do its our lives.

Re: Did your FH ask your fathers/mothers permission?

Yes FH asked my parents permission. They knew that it was coming, I knew he was going to do it so I gave them the heads up! The thing that I didn't know was WHEN it was going to happen! It had been two months after he asked and I'm like he is never going to ask me! So the weekend that he was going to my friend and I were talking about how he hasn't proposed yet and he did it THAT weekend!

It's funny how things happen. FH wouldn't have done it without asking permission first! My parents were like what are we gonna say no?!

Re: Did your FH ask your fathers/mothers permission?

he asked my daddy at my parents house during a holiday dinner when i went to the little girls room. he went downstairs to the basement to ask him & i came back to the table and my mom & FMIL told me they were hooking up the new tv down there. they took forever and when they came up i yelled mazal tov cause they took so long and i wanted to go home. FH, my parents & FMIL had these weird facial expressions after i said that. later on i learned that they thought i knew but i had no idea.

Re: Did your FH ask your fathers/mothers permission?

Yes FH called my parents and asked their permission the morning before he proposed. I had just gotten off the phone with him and told him I was jumping in the shower, he knew it was his chance to speak to my dad without me knowing....

One of the first things I said after 'YES!' was 'oh my god....did you ask my dad?!' hahahah I don't know why i thought of it right away !

It just popped into my head and made me laugh so hard.

And yes he asked and I think thats the cutest thing ever.

OMG - I said the exact same thing. (He had also asked my dad.)

Re: Did your FH ask your fathers/mothers permission?

Yes, he asked my mom and step-dad. They asked him to wait to ask until after my brother's wedding. He held on to that ring for 4 months before he gave it to me!!! Poor thing!! I thought it was really sweet that he waited though, and it definitely made my parents VERY happy!!!!
