FYI - I asked my GF's father for permission first to keep it old school. They approved.
-

My wife's father is an old school bad guy. He was abusive to my wife's mother, abusive to his daughters, abusive to his other wives. So at the time I proposed to my wife he wasn't around to ask for permission. Regardless, had he been around at that time in the role of "bad guy" that he perfected then I doubt I would've asked. A true father or mother deserves to be asked, but a man like that.....no, they don't. Today, he's older and regretful and he's workin slowly to build the relationships he destroyed.
-
Both my father in laws have been assholes so no way I was asking.
-
I did the same thing. Totally asked both the parents.
They truly appreciated it.
Nothing wrong with being respectful.
-
This is my to the tee. Art imitates life - literally.
Yes guys - I have to break the glass
-
Yes, I asked. It was more of a formality, because the ring was already bought, but he gave his blessing. That's what a man does.
-
its good that you invented a fake dad for your fake gf

I don`t ask anyone for anything. I take what is rightfully mine.

paid dowry fair and square
no need for permission, a deal is a deal
I got to keep it old school
-

me too
-
I didn't ask for permission per se.... but I did speak to her father beforehand man to man, making my intentions clear, they had known me for a long time, and we had a great relationship so nothing was really a surprise!
-
Sure did.
-
I couldn't speak German at the time but he was the first person we told.
He sat there and stared at the table without looking at us or talking to us for 15 minutes straight.

congrats

-

Off all my close friends who got married in their 20s, only two of them are still married today. The rest are all divorced. A couple on their second divorce. Most of these guys got married in the mid to late 90s. Every single one of them thought at the time of marriage, that they would be the ones who would be married forever. Divorce was not a possibility, because they were somehow different. Turns out they were not different.

I didn't ask my father in law. He's a doofus unworthy of my respect.
-
I asked both her mother and father over dinner. It's common courtesy and expected here in southern culture.

Southern culture? You on Duck Dynasty?

You're better off asking a psychologist ''WTF am I thinking?''

-

-
who gives a shit what another man thinks of your decisions. ::)

Mine was an Asian shotgun wedding. Father-in-law already had wedding videos of his older daughters getting married and kept saying "you see, you see". My brothers and sisters in law told me "daddy" would shut me down if I didn't marry their sister. Shut me down. :o ;D
Good thing I had noble intentions and really liked her. I don't think he'd be opposed to putting a young punk 6 feet under.

I didn't ask shit ,my father in law hated me because I was a construction worker ,he didn't even show up to the wedding :D

He was a heavy steroid user , his last words were " a calorie is a calorie, but a macro isn't a macro ''. PIP

Do it right, ask. If they say anything say thanks for your time, and I will see you at the wedding. It is just respectful. If they don't like it, too bad.

What exactly are you asking about? How do the parents own or have any business what their daughter does? I am failing to see the logic here.
I don`t understand it at all actually. Please explain.
Also, how is this in anyway respectful? If anything its incredibly disrespectful to a grown woman.
What if someone is 48 years old and their father is in his 90s. Do you still ask then? What are the rules?

You are giving the father a chance to voice his opinion after raising the girl you are about to marry. It is respectful to involve the parent in the process. Why? Because chances are they took the time to raise them right, and are happy to see them taking the next step in life.

Agreed - and plus they open the wallet after that too. ;D

Like I said, just say thanks, and I will either see you at the wedding or just see you later.

So then what would have been the point of that if they refuse? (other than to make you look like a schmuck, which admittedly would be funny and would be something I would do to someone if I had a daughter and they actually asked me)

That's very disrespectful .

Its a respect thing for the long term. Shows you care about what your in laws think, even if you really don't

The point is just to show the father, hi guy, here is the plan, while it seems like I am asking, it is really just more polite than saying your daughter is mine now, but I am passing out like a question to let toy feel like part of the plan.
That would be funny.
-

At the end of the day it is just a formality. If the father said no, I really would not entertain any sort of conversation why he thinks I cannot marry his daughter. At which point he would realize through smarts or if I had to tell him, this was just me being polite.

All I know is after I went to my soon to be in laws w my intentions and plans - they were like amazingly cool to me and opened the checkbook for all sorts of shit.

If papa-in-law said "no", I would just say thank you. Tell him I appreciate his position and that they will receive an invitation to which they can RSVP.
Can't make everyone happy. Why worry about it? If you make an honest attempt and it fails, there's no sense in worrying about it. Ain't no body got time for that.
-
I did. it was a sign of respect and was appreciated very much by her father. He's a good man who I respect a lot, and the appreciation and gratitude that he had for me approaching him as a man and asking him meant a lot.
Unless the girl doesn't have a dad or he is a piece of shit, I'm thoroughly confused as to why any of you "hard asses" do not understand why this is a decent thing to do. :-\

this. everybody thinks they are different. look at the divorce rates, 50%. women initiate it 70% of the time, for no reason at all. I wish you the best but its a terrible fucking idea to get married in the west. good luck. ;D

Just because the Supreme Court struck down DOMA doesn't mean you have to run out and get married! ;D
