My FI And I always talked about him asking my mom before he actually proposed. HE stuck with this and actually asked her. Who did you FI ask, if anyone?
i told my bf he had to ask my dad for permission. like, i wouldn't marry him if he didn't, because my dad means the world to me.
My FI asked my mom and step dad before popping the question. I think he may have also asked my brother. He knew it was important to me for him to ask my parents.
Yes, he asked my parents :) I think it was a sweet gesture
My FI asked my dad; but I think my mom was hurt that she wasn't asked also.... just the timing didn't work out. He was on his way to my parents to talk to both of them;but seen my dad before hand in town (we live in a small town) & asked then so he could avoid the chance of me catching him......
My FI took my dad to dinner to ask him and then asked my mom to go ring shopping with him since he figured she would be helpful in figuring out what i liked. I think it meant a lot to both of my parents to include them. I thought it was really sweet and was shocked all this happened without me having a clue it was going on!
My hubs was already going to ask my parents but I brought it up just in case. He definitely did too and my parents loved it. He said my mom was crying with excitement. I am so glad he did. That is one tradition my dad wanted to keep.
Yes, he asked my parents. He told me he was going to...said he didn't want to get on my dad's bad side...lol! (my sister's ex-husband didn't ask for permission before popping the question and my dad was never a fan of him)
My FI didn't and if he'd asked my Dad, I'm pretty sure his reaction would have been something like "why are you asking me? Ask HER" which is pretty much the same thing as consent.
He wanted to propose on the day before our 2 Year Anniversary. He was a wreck trying to get in touch with my mom to ask her. He didn't get a chance to talk to her, so he proposed anyway. We couldn't tell anyone (Which meant I couldn't sport my ring) until he talked to her. I think it showed a great deal of respect, even though I was itching to show it off and tell everyone! We had to be mum for a whole 5 days!
The hubs asked my mom. I never thought he would because it wasn't important to me or my mom. We all loved him already :) But he did about a week before, and it made my mom cry. They told me afterward, and I gotta say, it gave me the warm fuzzies.
I told FH that he didn't need to ask anyone - my dad has always said that it's up to me who I want to marry, not up to him to give permission. But, FH stole my dad's number out of my cell phone one day when I was at the gym and called and asked because it was important to him to do that. But the best part is that when he called my dad, the conversation started like this:
FH: Hi "Pat" it's "Joe"
Dad (pauses): "Joe"?
FH: "Joe Doe" (I can only imagine what he's thinking at this point!)
Dad (light bulb!): Oh "Joe"!
Poor FH . . . but so, so funny after I heard about it.
@MissHelen...that's the same thing my parents said when I brought up the subject. I have been supporting myself since I went off to college at age 18...that was 16 years ago so they would have looked at my FI like he was crazy had he asked....LOL.
Mr. KM asked for my dad's blessing a few weeks ago... I really wanted him to ask both of my parents, but my dad insisted it just be a guy's talk. Really, really annoyed me! And now I'm waiting for the proposal...
My FI asked both of my parents at the same time. My Dad was in SHOCK b/c my sister had just recently gotten engaged after dating her BF for almost 3 years and FI and I had only dated for 1.5 years at that point. My Mom had already helped FI mail the diamond to their house ;)
FI asked my parents a week before he proposed. He had a pretty elaborate plan, so my whole family knew when it was happening. I don't know how they didn't slip!
Haha, my husband asked my dad. And my dad replied, "Well, I guess so." My dad would have been pretty upset if he hadn't asked, he's traditional like that. And I'm glad he did because it made my dad happy. Even if his reply didn't show it! Actually because my husband asked the day he proposed, my mom, dad and my sister all knew before me!
FI really wanted to ask my dad's permission and really want to do it in person, but since we live out of state, his opportunities were fairly limited. We helped my paretns adopt a dog last Feb and drove to central PA Amish country to meet them (about 3-4 hr drive for each of us) and present them with the new poochie. Instead of doing it then, FI insisted that since we had SUCH a great time and never get to see my parents, we should do it again sometime. So last April, we rented a car (living in NYC, we don't have one) and drove out to Amish country again. There's not much to do there to begin with, so TWO visits in THREE months was a bit excessive.
While I was chatting with my mom, FI and my dad took our 2 dogs for a stroll, and sometime between them peeing and pooing he asked my dad's permission to marry me=)
My parents are traditional, but we had discussed marriage beforehand with my mother. FH proposed on a whim spontaneously, and my parents had already assumed we were going to get engaged anyways. My dad made a joke about FH not asking, but I know he was super happy that it finally happened.
My fiance asked my dad about a week or so before while watching football! My mom already knew it was coming and had warned my dad to say something real sweet and all! Well Brandon started by saying I am sure that MOM had talked with you but I wanted to ask.....then didn't stopped him mid sentence and said sure! My dad is VERY laid back!!! :)
He asked my dad on the phone. I told him I didn't like the tradition, but he wanted to do it. My dad's response: "why the hell are you asking me. [Entangled] does what she wants!" My dad is so awesome.
my fiance asked both of my parents (they are divorced), totally unbeknownst to me, and without my interception, my mom had him on the phone crying (happy tears) for an hour! very sweet (he would have asked them in person, but we live too far away). he also told his parents what he was planning...everyone knew before me!
My FI didn't ask anyone for permission. I do however think it's a nice tradition to ask permission from the parents, but oh well.
Oh yeah, and he did let his parents know what he was planning as well.
No, he tried to but he is a procratinator. He had been planning on proposing for like 6 months and he was going to do it on vacation (I had no idea). So on the trip down to our vacation spot, he asked me what my dads phone number was (he had just changed his cell phone) so I didn't suspect anything until he proposed. Well, anyways, he tried calling my dad and couldnt get a hold of him (my dad is impossible to get a hold of) so he didn't get to ask him. I mean he had 6 whole months to do it but like I said, he procrastinates. Even though he had been planing forever, he didn't get the ring till 2 days before our vacation. But thats him and I love him and so do my parents.
My FI let his daughter know what was going on. He then asked my dad. The best part was that he showed up to my parent's house on a friday afternoon with an apple pie and ice cream (my dad's two very favs) when he asked.
He didn't ask so much as tell... and for my conservative Korean parents, this was a little off-putting. We're still working out the cultural differences. =)
My husband definitely didn't ask anyone. If he had, I think my parents would have said no, on the grounds that he obviously didn't know me well enough if he thought he should be asking them.
I have to say, though, that I think asking your future stepchildren is AWESOME.
I asked my SO out of respect if he would ask my mom (single parent for 23 years) for her blessing.
My FI and I had been talking about getting married for a couple months. He told me "before I pop the question someday I have to ask your parents permission." So we took out the parents to dinner and he told them of his plans in life and asked permission. Both of my parents were misty eyed. My mom knew it was coming, but dad didn't. My dad's response was "you're a good man and I expect you to take good care of my daughter." I am the only girl so he's kinda protective of me. Dad being old fashioned, was really touched my FI asked.
FI asked my parents and my twin sister about a week before proposing.
My sister was so excited that she didn't talk to me the entire week (we usually talk every day) because she was so scared she would tell me!
FI tells me that the conversation with my Dad went something like this:
FH: So do you think it would be okay if I married your daughter?
Dad: Yep. Done.
FH: What? No interrogation or threats or anything?
Dad: Mr.Orangie, I have the rest of my life to do that!
My FH had been emailing my mom for a while (we live in a different state from my family) so they had been chatting back and forth. He had told her he wanted to ask my Dad, and she of course encouraged him.
So when we flew home for the holiday, it took him a while (I guess!) to get the courage to ask my Dad. But he did! Well, my Dad actually asked my FH!! He said, "Isn't there something you want to ask me?" My FH said, "Yeah". My Dad made him say it and ask him before he would tell him yes!!
That was a big rule in our house growing up. That if anyone was going to get married, they had to ask my Dad first!! I'm glad he accomplished that :]
My fiancé tried to ask my dad before hand, but I don't think he ever picked up on it because he tried to always set up the meetings with all three of us!
i joked with my FI a while back that if he ever even thought about asking me, he would have to go through my dad first (he can be pretty intimidating).
So, my FI took me serious (even though i didn't think he would) and called him one day to say "hey, i've got a question for you, so when you get some time..."
and so my sister went on to tell me that when my father knew he had a question, he told my mom and she shouted "ED! You know what he want's to ask you! He wants to marry Jennifer! You BETTER be nice!"
i almost DIED laughing when i heard this.
My father was nice...after he joked with my FI and said "you know, i like you a lot kid, but i think we'll hold out for someone better"
he WOULD!
My fiance asked both my parents, which was a little tricky since my mom is a flight attendant and always seemed to be in the air on the days that my fiance was free to meet with them (ie: the days I was out running around without them).
In the end, he met with them both and had a really nice conversation. They ended up being 2 of 3 people who knew he was proposing and when. They were in on his little secret!
