Re: Did FH/DH ask your Dad for permission?

My FH is very old fashioned and met my dad out for lunch and asked permission to marry me. It was out of respect for my dad. It meant alot to my dad.

Re: Did FH/DH ask your Dad for permission?

FH asked my mom.
We were going away for the weekend and the night before he told her he was going to ask while we were away and he asked her if she was okay with it to which she said Of Course!!

Re: Did FH/DH ask your Dad for permission?

DH did ask my Dad for permission first. They actually kept it a secret from my Mom too b/c they wanted it to be a surprise for her as well. The night we got engaged, I came home and surprised her, she was just as excited as I was!

Re: Did FH/DH ask your Dad for permission?

its actually a really cute story - FH was planning on asking my parents but then the transit strike hit and my job kept sending me home early - one time he was on my block and saw me turn the corner and sped away!

so finally the day before he proposed he rang the doorbell and no one answered - so he went around to the back and let himself in - my parents were just waking up for the day and started screaming bc they thought someone broke in!

but then he asked my father for permission and my father said of course and my mom and dad were crying - my dad said he knew that he would take very good care of me - FH even promised that we would have a house ( that part is getting to be a little difficult but I thought that was cute)

then my BEST FRIEND (jenn122397) who lives across from me got engaged the very next morning and my mom was HYSTERICALLY crying and i couldnt figure out why! well, i figured it out that night! lol

Mine asked, and my dad said, ' Sure take her if you want'

ahh i love it!!! lmao!!!

I was expecting something like that with my Dad. I was home actually (upstairs talking to my Mom in her room) so FH thought it was safe to ask my Dad downstairs because when I'm talking with my Mom (and sister for that matter) nothing distracts me! But I happened to walk across the hallway to my bedroom and I over-heard them talking so I was like, odd. And I listened at the top of the stairs and FH was like, 'So' (he always starts of with that when he's going to say something BIG!!) 'As you know, Danielle and I really love each other and have been talking about getting engaged and I've been saving a lot for the ring. Well, I bought the ring but I just wanted to ask you first if it was OK if I ask her to marry me' so my Dad goes 'OK' LOL!!!! I almost DIED at the top of the stairs. So my FH goes 'Alright then'. and my Dad proceeds to tell him how happy he is that we met and that he really wants me to put my career first though and not lose sight of what's important because of the wedding. He then proceeds to go on and on about how smart I am and tells him my IQ!!!! Then he he was like 'Alright' like conversation over!!! And FH was like 'thanks a lot' and then that was it.

After he proposed my Dad was eager to see the ring and i showed him and later when FH was not around he said 'Well, I didn't want to ask Vinny but how much do you think he spent on that?' and I said I knew how much and told him what it was and my Dad was like 'Oh now I feel bad, that's an awful lot of money to pay. I didn't know he spent that much'. LOL he is such a character, I love my Dad!!!

ETA: my Dad also then shared the story about how my FH had it a lot harder than my Dad did b/c when my Dad asked for my Mom my Grandfather was drunk so he just said 'SURE!' lol!!!! Who does that?!!! Only my Dad-- My dad goes 'But you have it harder b/c I don't drink so there's no chance of me being drunk'

Re: Did FH/DH ask your Dad for permission?

Yes my FH did, he asked my father to go play golf and then he went in to this whole speech about how much he loves me and how he knew I was the one the first night he met me... A bunch of really sweet stuff and then my father gave him the whole fatherly speech on how he better treat me right and everything.......They shoke (spelling ) hands and that was that!!

Re: Did FH/DH ask your Dad for permission?

Yes...FH took my father out for dinner and they first had drinks at the bar and by the time they got home they were both in the doghouse b/c they were WASTED. According the FH, my father was thrilled that he was going to take the financial burden i.e. me off of him.

Re: Did FH/DH ask your Dad for permission?

My Dad later told me that Rusty was all nervous and flustered and started pleading his case and my Dad just interrupted him and said, 'Are you asking me to let you marry my little girl?'

He said it was really nice of him. Because the last time he had been asked (by my BIL), he got:

'I knocked up your daughter. Can I marry her? Please?'

My BIL is always joking so my father didn't think he was serious and he laughed at him. But he really did knock up my sister.

That takes a set like no other! That is absolutely hilarious!

Re: Did FH/DH ask your Dad for permission?

No, DH met my dad at our rehearsal the night before the wedding. I'm not that close with him and he lives in VA, so that was ok with me.

Instead DH asked my mom and my grandparents for their blessing, and fortunately he received it!!!! We also asked his daughter for her blessing, that was very important to the both of us.

Re: Did FH/DH ask your Dad for permission?

My DH didn't ask for permission but asked for his blessing...and then Dad told everyone!!!!!!!!!!!

He spoke to my parents first, but I think he just kind of told them he was going to be proposing, he didn't actually ask for permission. It was still sweet of him.

That is what my DH did as well

lol,

DH didnt ask for permission, he asked for my parents' blessing.

---

me too... basically he told my dad that he was going to marry me regardless, but he though things would just run smoother if he got thier blessing!

Re: Did FH/DH ask your Dad for permission?

My DH formally asked my father. He says now that he was more nervous about that, then asking me!!! I guess he knew MY answer.

Re: Did FH/DH ask your Dad for permission?

Yes, DH asked my dad first and my dad said yes but don't ever lay a hand on her or you wont exist anymore. DH was like but he loved the fact that my dad was protective of me.

Re: Did FH/DH ask your Dad for permission?

My Parents have both past away....He Asked my Brother for my Hand. Sadly.....my Father passed away two months before he purposed. My FH feels horrible that he didn't get to ask my Father before he passed.

Re: Did FH/DH ask your Dad for permission?

Originally my FH was taking my dad to tomorrow's Yankee/Mets game (FH = Yankees, dad = Mets) and ask him there but he couldn't wait until then. He drove over to my parents house (this is about a month ago) claiming he needed to the the air conditioner for our apt. My parents were there along with one of my two sisters. He gathered them in the kitchen (they thought that he was going to ask them if they could watch our dog for us) and he asked they if he could have their blessing and my sister started immediately crying and screamed yes (because he was really asking her, right?), my mom started doing the electric slide (practice), and my dad had this blank look on my face that made my FH think he was pissed... he really just saw dollar signs, but was totally happy & excited!

Re: Did FH/DH ask your Dad for permission?

My FH talked to my dad about 5 minutes before he proposed! He knew that my dad would have NEVER been able to keep the secret!!!

Re: Did FH/DH ask your Dad for permission?

Yes and I thought that was the sweetest thing.

Re: Did FH/DH ask your Dad for permission?

Yes, sort of. My dad was really sick last summer and in the hospital. while he was in bed FH said something along the lines of 'C'mon, you have to get better. I want to propose to Robyn.'
