Did your husband ask your father’s permission before he asked you?

If possible, just a yes or no.

Not without having a seance,no.

missmouse101 · 29/04/2019 16:43

Yes, 19 years ago. Bloody ridiculous idea. Would never entertain such a notion nowadays. I'm not a possession.

No.

ALittleBitofVitriol · 29/04/2019 16:44

Hahaha no. I didn't get my future father in law's permission either.

Fatted · 29/04/2019 16:44

Well considering I asked DH to marry me, no.

BrillyPribble · 29/04/2019 16:44

No. I also wouldn't have married him if he had

GooodMythicalMorning · 29/04/2019 16:45

No. he'd never met my dad at that point. my dad lived in another country with his new wife

JoinTheDots · 29/04/2019 16:45

No (dad was dead by then, but I can't image he would have anyway)

NorthernRunner · 29/04/2019 16:45

No- but my father was dead so you know...

Thatmustbemyname · 29/04/2019 16:45

Yes - and I'm happy he did. Not because we needed permission, or because I was property to be handed over, but simply because that's a traditional approach and my dad would have appreciated the gesture.

Devaki · 29/04/2019 16:46

No

Friolero · 29/04/2019 16:46

No

Itwouldtakemuchmorethanthis · 29/04/2019 16:46

Yes. But it was a done deal, it just made us all giggle.
