+1

I didn't ask for permission or a blessing. It wouldn't have mattered what the answer was anyway so I figured why even ask?

do people still do this? i thought ward cleaver was the last documented case.

yeah it's the thought that counts, but it strikes me as silly and unnecessary. my wife could decide for herself, she didn't need parental acquiesence. don't get me wrong, my father-in-law and i get along fine, and it wouldn't have been an issue. just seems archaic and somewhat undermining to the woman's position in the whole thing.

wtf? :confused:

Narlus & I have the same opinion on something!

Why the dad?


What about mom?

just a thought.



and.... I'm a grown woman, capable of making her own decisions. If I weren't like this, why would you want me?

Ask her, then when you get the 'yes', show up on the parent's doorstep and demand 14 cows, 2 goats, and her sister. That would be a great way to tell the parents.

If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

That said, you know the guy, just go talk to him. As mentioned above, get the two 'rents together and ask them both. You are not purchasing a slab of beef.

Thats my plan, take BOTH parents out to dinner and let them know whats up :thumb:

I actually took "him" I.E. her father for a bike ride.

When I asked him, he of course said yes and I made sure I as on the opposite side of the road. When he said "YES I could" I said thanks because I already bought the ring.

Yes. Yes it is. It is soooooooooooooo much cheaper to simply fly the grandparents out than to pay the price of them living close. :D
:rofl: As I always tell my family when they visit, "it was nice to see you come here but it's better to see you go".;)

I think asking the dad is so cheesy and bizarre. So, are you engaged already, or have you just started planning a wedding without a big sparkly? Sorry, I am confused. :think:

I also think the 'big sparkly' thing is over rated too..

why do guys have to buy us things to prove their love?

what kind of materialistic btchs are we?
I think its a case of impressing friends more than anything. How practical is a 1ct.+ ring for doing anything other than showing it off anyways? One chick I worked with insisted that 3 months salary be spent on her ring - fugg that - thats a gotdamn new car!

Julie's parents would be on the phone with her the instant I left if I asked them..

:stupid:

same here but I call him D!CKHEAD. I figured if he knocked up her mom before asking her dad, that I didnt need his permission either.

Same here. The whole mom or dad thing just sounds way to incestuous to me.

Incest is best kept in the family.
