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

If possible, just a yes or no.

No

bookworm14 · 29/04/2019 17:42

Christ no. My dad would have thought he was bonkers.

SaveThePangolin · 29/04/2019 17:43

No

No. He wouldn't have been the right one for me if he had.

My former flatmates boyfriend asked her father's permission, bought a ring in advance and went down on one knee. She loved all 3. I would have hated all 3!

No

CuriousaboutSamphire · 29/04/2019 17:45

No.

My dad did ask him if he had anything to ask and was told that it was not his decision to make.

Given how things turned out with notatallD F I am ever so proud of DH for being so decided!

AlunWynsKnee · 29/04/2019 17:45

No.

No

FudgeBrownie2019 · 29/04/2019 17:47

No, and if he had my Dad would probably have throat punched him and told me not to marry him. I don't belong to any man and I never have.

EjectorCrab · 29/04/2019 17:47

No.

mynameisMrG · 29/04/2019 17:48

Yes

SaveThePangolin · 29/04/2019 17:48

Also, he didn't ask me, we just kind of agreed.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 29/04/2019 17:48

No.

1990shopefulftm · 29/04/2019 17:48

No, my dad's isn't alive for him to have asked but i wouldn't have wanted DH to ask.

EllenRachel · 29/04/2019 17:50

No (but because I told him not as neither my father or I wanted him to, he wasn't bothered either way)

Badtasteflump · 29/04/2019 17:50

No

Youngandfree · 29/04/2019 17:51

No 😂

Baloonphobia · 29/04/2019 17:52

No. But I asked DH to marry me not the other way around.

Baloonphobia · 29/04/2019 17:52

I didn't ask his Dad either.

Hushabyelullaby · 29/04/2019 17:53

No

DelilahTheSlagFromTheBible · 29/04/2019 17:53

Yes. I found myself unexpectedly pregnant. DH asked my dad for my hand in marriage. My lovely dad replied "well you might as well, it seems you've had everything else". He was joking but poor DH didn't know how to take it.
