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

FH asked my parents...because he swears I told him my BIL asked my parents (which he didn't). My Mom told the whole family the minute we left for vacation (he did it when we were away). My Mom wouldn't even get out of the car when they dropped us off at the airport cause she said she thought she was gonna cry.
He didn't, however, even tell his parents, who were quite surprised when we called to tell them.

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

Nope my FH didn't ask anyone. We barely speak to my father. He is very close to my Mother, but he wanted it to be a genuine surprise. Honestly if he had asked my Mommy, she would have told me and ruined the surprise. Haha

It was perfect just the way he did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

Yep- Pat went to see my Dad while I was at work and actually showed him the ring. LOL, my Dad is a Jeweler as a side job so I guess he wanted his approval. I had NO clue he did this and of course, I asked as soon as we got engaged. He said 'Don't worry- Dad approved!'

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

Fh didn't ask my Dad but I think my Dad loves him more than me so he never would have said NO!

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

yes he did

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

Yeah he did! And my parents were happy and proud of him for doing it.

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

Yes and he didn't even know what was he saying, because my parents don't speak English and he doesn't speak Polish!!! But they said YES!!!

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

my father passed away a year before he proposed... but before he passed my fh would always tell him that he was gonna marry me and take care of me... he didnt ask my mom because he was scared she was gonna tell me.

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

Yup! They did a good job of keeping that a secret, he did it a couple of months before he actually popped the question

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

We sat down with them together and the four of us talked about it. Afterwards my parents had been prepared so they broke out champagne. It was really nice.

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

I knew he would ask my parents permission, so I hinted to him a while ago that he should just ask my dad (mom's not great at keeping secrets). He did a week before he proposed.

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

Brian did ask my dad. he called him the night before. i found this out the next day :). My mom had to keep it a secret for a full day-very hard for her!

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

Yes Fh asked my dad. He knew I really wanted him to because my dad and I have such a close relationship so i knew it would mean a lot to him and it did to me as well. I always joked with FH saying, you know if you dont ask my dad first im just going to keep saying no until you do!

But after he popped the question, I too immediatley said 'did you ask my dad'

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

No, but we had been together for 9 years at that point so they were waiting for it!

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

Yes he did, he called both of my parents, as they are divorced and live in another state. He also planned it so my family was there to surprise me right after he asked which was so awesome!

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

my fh asked my dad, he came over asked him a nd showed him the ring the day before he proposed...


funny thing is...he told my siste before anyone! lol

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

He went to my parents' house when my mom was coming to my house one night and asked my dad. He planned it for a day when she wouldnt be home because she wouldnt have been able to keep the secret!

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

yesss!!!!! After FH proposed and i of course said yes i asked him about all the little details. He said he took my brother and my fahter out to dinner and asked for my dads permission. I was awwww your sooo cute

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

Yes. The ring was picked out, half the wedding was being planned, but he would not officially ask once he had the ring in hand until he asked my Dad. My parents, being realistic New Yorkers, said 'start planning if you want the holiday weekend' knowing he couldn't pick the ring up yet (paying it off), and treated his request no differently than if it came as a total surprise.

My Dad and he had a long talk about marriage, and my Dad told him that it was the best 50th Wedding Anniversary gift they could ask for (they hit that a month before the wedding).

Then, he asked me, officially.

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

Yes my FH asked my dad. Coming from a very traditional family, if FH didnt ask, my dad would have held it against him for the rest of our lives. I just think its a sign of respect
