I'M ALSO CURIOUS... WHO WENT WITH FH TO PICK OUT THE RING???
FH asked my dad. I always told him he had to because it was respectful and my parents are old fashioned. I think FH might have done it sooner if he didnt have to ask dad.. he feels funny in situations like those. hehe
FH went with my dad and his mom to pick out my ring... i thought that was really cute!!

FH went to my house and asked both parents but did it the day before he was going to ask me cuz i work with my dad and am very close to him and they both have BIG mouths and would have spilled the beans

FH went by himself - naturally he had my input
ETA: And he asked my dad 3 months before he did it!!
I don't know how they kept it from me!

My father in over five years of our relationship has said only a paragraph to my FH. Both of them are shy around each other. So NO he didn't ask. My dad said he was a little hurt bu it and i understand and Tom said he would of but the man hardly talks to him. Understood there.. now they chit chat more often so its all good.

YUp! I live with my dad and bro and FH is really close with them both, so he did ask my dad...luckily my dad took him to his jeweler to pick out the ring afterwards when i asked him bout it he told me more about his day in the city with my dad and what they ate rather than his 'excitement and pure joy' about pickin out my ringg and marrying me lol...what a guy ...and they both lied to me all day...thank god im oblivious lol

FH went with his mom to pick out the ring, but he knew what I wanted.... He did an amazing job!!!!
He asked my mom and dad and one of my sisters (she happened to be at home when he stopped by to ask).
My sister screamed out YES! and my mom started doing the electric slide and $$ signs started coming out of my dad's eyes and ears.

He asked my mom about three days before he asked me. We picked out the ring together in Jan 06, he asked me in Jun 06...

He asked my parents about a month before he asked me - I picked out the ring about 3 months before that!!

Yep FH went to Sunday morning mass that he knows my parents always go to (without me), sat with them through the mass and asked them in the back of the church after mass was over.
It meant A LOT to both of them and especially to me!

yes he did about 2 weeks prior to the proposal..it was weird cause i kept catching him on the phone with my mom on numerous occasions. I later found out he was setting up a time when he could ask my father without me there.

FH didn't ask my parents permission, for which I'm really glad because that's just not 'me' and I'm happy he knew me better than that. My parents did, however, know that he was proposing (he asked my mom input about the ring months in advance), so I guess if they disapproved they would have stopped him!
When he went shopping for my ring, I know he had my voice in his head (a little Dava sitting on his shoulder, whispering in his ear, like in a cartoon!) because I'd told him over and over how I wanted an emerald-cut diamond. And he took my sister shopping with him to make sure to buy something I'd love.

Your FH seems so sweet Dava!
My FH, on the other hand, knew he had no choice BUT to ask my parents lol! I was still surprised though when he told me that he'd called and asked them the week before. We were both 8hrs away from home, in college so he didn't get the opportunity to make it 'special'... just a call.

Re: Did your FH ask your parents/guardians/others for their permission to marry you?
I didn't pick my ring out. FH was a poor college student lol... no 'cash money' , and had sorta-bad credit already, so he bought me a 'temporary ring' which is still beautiful and has a princess cut diamond just like he knew I wanted.
Since he plans on buying another one now that he's working, we've considered removing this stone and making it a side stone in a new '3-stone setting' ring (since they represent ' yesterday , today, and tomorrow). If a jeweler can pull it off, we'll do it, and that'll be my official engagement ring.
If not, we'll pass it on to one of our kids and he'll get a new one for me all together (which I will leave up to him to choose)
