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

If possible, just a yes or no.

Yes

BikeRunSki · 29/04/2019 22:22

No, my dad died 5 years before I met DH.

Surfingtheweb · 29/04/2019 22:26

I don't have a dad, he asked my teenage daughter 😂

londonloves · 29/04/2019 22:30

Yes

PickAChew · 29/04/2019 22:31

Haha! No.

I proposed to him, anyhow.

tinyradish · 29/04/2019 22:31

No.

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 29/04/2019 22:31

DH didn't ask me, I asked him. Neither of us sought any parental permission.

SaveThePangolin · 29/04/2019 22:37

But the yes people, why?

puppylovebaby · 29/04/2019 22:41

Yes

KickAssAngel · 29/04/2019 22:42

You're assuming he did the proposing ... which he didn't.
And no, I didn't ask his Dad's permission before the proposal either.

Theworldisfullofgs · 29/04/2019 22:44

No. It would be a bit difficult as he was dead.

And it wasn't a proposal as such...

Paddingtonthebear · 29/04/2019 22:45

Haha haha

No!

Davros · 29/04/2019 23:17

No
1990 so quite a long time ago

I asked my brother-in-law (DW's sister's partner), as my wife had cut off contact with her father, so he was the only adult male in her family.

I was a bit surprised, but DW wanted me to, and her mother expected it.

It was only a formality anyway.

GlitterPixie · 30/04/2019 01:17

No. Didn’t think this was even still thing except in films

Newmumma83 · 30/04/2019 01:23

No

PissOffPeppa · 30/04/2019 01:39

No. But he spoke to my mum beforehand.

SpaceCadet4000 · 30/04/2019 01:41

haha no way! We didn't really do a proposal either though.

SallyGardens · 30/04/2019 01:45

No.

I didn't ask his parents either.

Giantsbane · 30/04/2019 06:45

adaline · 30/04/2019 07:16

Littlepond · 30/04/2019 07:22

No.

aurynne · 30/04/2019 07:25

No. I didn't ask his dad either.

Abi58 · 30/04/2019 07:26

Yes. Not because he had to, he wanted to. He knew the answer would be yes so it was a formality. My dad told him I would say yes hahaha.
