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. Happened without my knowledge and I wasn't too fussed at the time. But I am older and wiser now, and will be advising my sons NOT to do the same.

No

No, I'd have dumped him tbh. I'm in my 50's and even 30 years ago it was old fashioned and misogynistic.

No. I think my dad would have been a bit bemused if he had!

Hell no. My dad would have told him he was asking the wrong person!

Yes and my Dad replied ‘about bloody time’

No but he asked once I said yes

No but dh and my dad had a little private talk after I had already told my parents we were engaged. No idea what was said by either man. It was something dh initiated. I bloody hope he wasn't asking permission

WTAF?

That’s WAY worse than indulging in a little tradition.

No but when my daughters get married I've told them they've got to get permission off my hubby. I think it's the right thing to do

What???

Why???

Jesus wept. It’s 2019 and you’re teaching your daughters they need their fathers permission to make decisions as adults?

No!
And DH and I walked down the aisle of the registry office together.

Yes

No - there wasn't really a proposal though we just decided we wanted to get married and that was it! We went engagement ring shopping together and told everyone after.

Not permission, but he visited my parents and let them know of his intentions as a courtesy; they believed it was very thoughtful of him.

Yes

Yes

Nope

No.

No

Only as a joke!

No

Asked my mum.

Not that I know of but dad knew we were getting married and was happy with it all.

No! We mutually decided we were getting married after almost 11 years of being in a relationship.

And like a PP, we walked down the aisle of the registry office together

No

No
