A quick poll- if you are married....

[BertrandRussell]

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

If possible, just a yes or no.

Yes, but after we'd already decided we were getting married.

My Dad is very traditional (and hard work) and DH thought it might smooth the way a little as it was the first time he met him and he wanted to make a good impression. Turns out my Dad was then still not happy as he thought DH would propose while he was there and was disappointed DH didn't. There actually wasn't ever a proposal.
Dad then proceeded to make our wedding day all about him by sulking, crying and not speaking to me as even though I compromised on him walking me down the aisle (something I REALLY didn't want to do) he wanted the traditional 'who gives this woman' which I didn't. Apparently I ruined all his dreams

He informed him that he planned to propose to me but wasn’t asking for agreement or a blessing

And it was this too. Not permission. My parents lost any kind of authority over me when I was about 8.

Yes

Yes. Or more "this is what I'm planning.."

Nope...my dad would have been glad to be rid of me 🤣

Nope. Thank god

Absolutely not. I can say I'm all honestly that I would not have married him if he had thought something like that would be a good idea.

Yes

No.

Terrifying the number of people who think “traditional” = a good thing

I wonder if the same people will voluntarily sacrifice their rights under the Equal Pay Act? After all, it was always “traditional” for women to be paid less than men for the same job...

He told him he was planning to. My dad was quite touched I think. By this point though I had already made DH show me the ring (family heirloom) and had been wearing it round the house after work for about a month 🤣

Nope.

No, my dad is human pond scum.

Yes

No. He was dead.

My daughters fiancé took my husband for a drink and told him he intended to seek her hand and asked for approval. A nice modern turn.

No, but i did refuse to announce it or make it official until hed spoken to my dad.

No.

No, he was dead. Asked my mum instead.

No

Yes. My then boyfriend and I discussed it beforehand, my dad was totally thrilled to be asked. It made his day and cost us nothing.

Yes

Yes

Yes

No

I asked DH - so no!

Yes
