Did your OH ask your dads permission?

Bexxx · Dec 16th, 2011, 15:48 PM

Thought this would be the best place to ask

But yeah, did your OH ask your Dad first about asking to marry you or did he just go straight for it? I cannot see my OH asking my dad!

Yup, my husband asked for my dad's permission, about 3 weeks before he proposed

My OH didn't ask permission as such, but he spoke to my dad, let him know what he was planning and said he hoped he had his blessing. Apparently my dad was thrilled

This was about 5 weeks before he proposed, I have no idea how he kept it secret for so long!

Yes the day before he asked he spoke to my dad - he wanted to do it before but he said I kept getting in the way so the opportunity never came up until the day before lol It made me cry when he said he'd asked

My OH didnt even ask me!! Lol we just decided we wanted to get married and set the date! That was that! So no time to ask my dad lol

Yes he did - he asked both my parents! Apparently i walked in the room and started jibbering away about the TV whilst my dad was holding the ring!!

Not that it mattered, he would have proposed anyway, we both hated my dad

My DH spoke to my dad but from what I understand it wasn't asking permission but letting him know what he was planning! To be honest I think it was more an excuse for a game of golf than following etiquette!!!!!!

I think its a really traditional and sweet thing to do.
My ex husband never asked my dad but I'd really like it if OH did (that is if he actually wants to marry me)
