Re: Before you popped the question

I spoke with my father-in-law before hand. I remember him asking me what I would do if he said no (he was kidding, thank goodness).

Re: Before you popped the question

Well, her father is no longer part of her life, so I asked her mother a day beforehand. I expected a long talk, and I was prepared for a "you guys aren't ready yet", but she broke down and cried, and told me I could. We had a talk afterwards, but it was nothing like an investigation or anything. It was basically her mom telling me she was so happy her daughter found someone she knew loved her.

Went MUCH better than expected.

Re: Before you popped the question

My fiances father passed away when she was six and she doesnt really have a great relationship with her mother, so I didnt ask her. Honestly, i've been there for my fiance much more than her mother has in the time i've been with her.

I was gonna ask, because I do believe in doing so, but her mom is a little volitale, so I didnt want anything she'd do to ruin another "good" moment for her daughter.

Re: Before you popped the question

I asked her father and mother. I just stopped at their house when I knew my fiance wouldn't be there, asked and showed them the ring.

I asked because I'm a traditionalist and I know her father wanted me to do it this way.

Re: Before you popped the question

Probably not the best way to pop the question but I was drunk and when my fiance and I got back from the bar to the car I popped the question plastered. Didn't remember for about a week until she nagged me about telling her friends, and I didn't remember what the heck happened. I made it better two weeks later though when I got down on one knee at her work *which also happened to be where I worked in front of customers* and did it right. Didn't ask her Dad though, because he is a alcoholic, and he can't remember anything much less keep a sentence together without falling asleep. Not being mean just honest.

I will, and hopefully if I ever have a daughter her wannabe husband asks me.

The irony of you being drunk and not remembering asking her and then not telling her father because he's always drunk is kinda funny

Re: Before you popped the question

Unfortunately, both of my wife's parents were deceased before I married her. So the only person to ask was her.

Re: Before you popped the question

My wife is a bit of a feminist, so she told me ahead of time that she didn't want me asking her dad for permission. I didn't and I don't think my father-in-law was offended since he knows his daughter. I wouldn't have had a problem doing so and probably would have if my wife wasn't against it.

Re: Before you popped the question

I don't think I did actually, but he told me that he would love for me to marry his daughter after I spent a weekend at their house.

Re: Before you popped the question

Yeah, I just did this a couple weeks ago and I drove the hour and a half to her parent's house to ask them. I was thinking about just asking her dad but since I was going far out of my way, and both of them were there, I figured I'd ask both. It was kind of hard thinking of a reason as to why I was coming up there, since they aren't exactly near anywhere so I can't say I was just in the area. But it all worked out.

Good thing he isn't Robert DeNiro.

I'm sure she appreciates you very much for being there for her during those times.

It's unfortunate when someone doesn't get along with their parents. Some parents just aren't open to suggestion or change. It's very frustrating as a child.
