Parental Permission: Modern or Traditional?

As an older couple he just asked me!

Traditional. It was important to me that FH asked my dad. I dont think FH cared either way but it was very touching that he went out of his comfort zone to call my dad and then took it a step further and included them in the proposal. It was perfect.

It’s very important to me, and how I was raised. If my now fiancé didn’t ask and I’d find out oh I’d be royalty ticked.

My daddy is no longer here if he was still alive my FH would've asked him forsure. My FH did ask my son tho if it was alright with him if he could marry me💛

No talk with parents beforehand. I would never made any man who did that. Not a courtesy , an insult. Once someone apparently more serious about me than I was about him, went to my father to ask his permission. My father told him anyone who thought I needed anyone's permission, did not know me well enough to marry me. I would never have married him for a hundred other reasons. But this treating me as less than the capable and independent woman I am, caused immediate break-up. My father was really angry anyone would treat me that way.

Traditional! My fiancé bought the ring 1st then met up with my dad at his job to ask him for permission.

My FH had a talk with my dad. My dad is a traditional man, and my FH wanted to keep his respect. What’s funny is FH had to talk with his own mom too.

Combo! Tradition because he did call to ask permission, but he called my mom not my dad!! So totally sweet.

Modern. My dad passed away when I was 16 and my mom probably already knew it was coming haha.

Traditional yet modern lol. He picked up the ring that morning and asked my dad for his blessing.

Traditional, he asked my dad ❤️

Modern, I'm not property and their permission is not needed. I would have said no if she had talked to them first - and she feels the same way so it wasnt an issue. We told all the parents right after she proposed and I said yes. The only people who knew before me were the friends who were photographing it for us, cause they saw her pull out the ring before telling me to turn towards her.

He asked me if he should ask for permission. I told him no, that he didn’t need to. I’ve never thought it necessary, and my dad has been out of my life for over 5 years.

I definitely needed him to ask permission. But the two closer people who’s approval I needed were my mom and brother- and to ask my dad so he didn’t feel left out. He asked all 3. 🤣

I asked my fiancé’s Mother and her sisters were there too! It was so sweet and I was so nervous... she asked my Mom and Dad before she proposed to me. She asked me first then I surprised her a year later!

Traditional....we are old school

Modern. I don’t have a close relationship with my parents.

Modern. My parents knew it was going to happen eventually and were ok with it

I expected him to ask for my dad's blessing - not permission - but he did not.

Totally fine, my dad's loved FH since he nursed me through pneumonia.

He did technically ask after we got engaged thinking that he already asked 😂 I wanted him to ask though their answer wouldn't have changed things
