Parental Permission: Modern or Traditional?

No permission. He asked me months before he talked to my dad. Wouldn't have changed his mind either way.

Modern, we told them we were engaged and getting married. I originally thought I wanted him to ask, but the more I thought about it, I'm an adult and I can consent to my own hand in marriage.

Traditional. He asked my dad. We had talked about it because it was important for to talk to my dad and see how he felt about him marrying me.

Modern. I told him not to ask anyone. I’m a grown woman in charge of my own life. I don’t care for that “tradition.”

Traditional. He asked my parents the day before without me knowing!

Traditional! While it wasn't important to me if we had permission, it was something we both knew my dad would value. The proposal was a complete surprise to me, so FH let me know he had asked permission later. It meant so much that he did that!

Somewhat traditional. Didn't ask for permission exactly. It was my mother's blessing. I later found out that my FH asked my mother for her blessing but she's loved him from day one and said she didn't care if he asked or not because she claimed him from the very first day

Modern as both of our fathers have died and we just went ahead and got engaged and then shared the news with our families

Modern- we’re adults (both of us past 30), and already lived out of our parents’ place. My dad died 12 years ago and my FH told me that he honestly forgot to mention it to my mom... But she was the first person we called right after the proposal.

Definitely traditional he wanted nothing more than to have my grandparents permission I think it was so sweet.

Yes he asked both of my parents permission like a gentleman

I hate this tradition. I don't need anyone's permission. My husband did not ask anyone, thankfully.

I was pretty clear when we initially discussed marriage that he was not to ask my father for his permission or blessing because my father came into my life just before I turned 18 and has never done any of the things a father should do. He did tell my dad he was going to propose when we went out to lunch with him a couple of weeks before he actually proposed, which I decided wasn't worth arguing about because it was already done.

Traditional - I told him when we first started dating that I wouldn't say yes to someone before knowing my parents were on board.

Thankfully, my family loves FH and can't wait for him to be a SIL! He asked my dad weeks before the proposal and even showed my dad the ring. He took my dad out to lunch, it was so sweet!

Traditional. This was important to both of us and he asked both my parents for their blessing, not their permission.

Not permission, but blessing from my mom. my mom's opinion matters to me but we are very open and talk about everything and she sort of asked me some leading questions.

Traditional! He asked not just my dad but my mom also for this blessing. Actually he got my whole family's blessings!!!

While i am against most traditions, out of respect for my parents he did ask their blessing before asking me to marry him. which really made my parents happy.

Sort of traditional? I guess he told my mom around Christmastime in 2017 that he was going to propose a few months later. So he didn't really ask her but he let her know it was coming!
