Parental Permission: Modern or Traditional?

I didnt think it was that important but he insisted to at least talk to my mom about it.

Modern! FH and I got engaged, then told our parents the news after.

Traditional. My fiancé and I had talked about all the “if we ever get married” and I told him I would like him to ask my parents because I thought they would be thrilled to be involved in the proposal. I always love whenever we can have our families involved in our lives.

I asked and didn't see much point asking his family, so not traditional over here.

Traditional with a modern twist. My dad is well known for skirting his daughter’s bf’s at events in case they want to ask (he thinks it’s fun) so my bf (at the time) called my mom and asked for her blessing and asked how to ask my dad. He eventually ended up calling my dad and apparently my dad said “wow” and then was silent for a minute and a half- they both times it- just to make my Fh freak out. He ultimately said Tuesday as we all knew he would. My FH also let his parents know in advance as well. I like the tradition

Absolutely! He had to lol

My future husband Jason asked my father for my hand in marriage. So we did the traditional route.

He didn't ask. I'm not close to my dad & we only speak about 3 times a year. So we skipped this part. Had my mom still been alive, he would have asked her because he is old fashioned for the most part.

Traditional. He asked both my Mom and Dad for their blessings!

I am on both sides of the fence I like to keep some things traditional and some things I’m like um we doing it anyway lol

As we started talking about it, I made it VERY clear I didn't want him to ask permission or a blessing.
My parents like him a ton, but it felt archaic and not at all in our comfort zone.

Respectful! What is sweet is my FH asked permission/ Blessing from my Adult Children 28 & 25. All before he even asked me.

We have been together for 10 years so I think it came up at one point about eventually getting married but no he didn't formally ask my dad's permission right before proposing.

View Quoted Comment Lol okay 🤣😂🤣

Traditional, FH asked my mother and my father.

Traditional. My fiance talked to my dad weeks in advance. then the week before proposing he asked my mom and dad together as well as my sister and brother in law. he covered everyone in my family

We went completely modern with this one. My FH is black and my mother's family is incredibly racist and do not like him, they wont even say hello to him when they see him. The only person I ever wanted a guy to get permission from was my grandfather, who unfortunately passed away only a few months before FH and I started dating. FH knew that a blessing didn't mean anything to me unless it was from my grandfather so he just proposed and we went to Sunday dinner at my mother's house the next week and dropped the news. (That was a fun day)

Modern, he didn’t discuss with my parents lol. My grandfather told him the first time they met a couple years ago that he needed to marry me, he’s kept that in mind ever since then.

My FH called my dad before he proposed. My dad spoke highly of that gesture for a few weeks to his friends. My dad doesn't say much but I know he respected and appreciated him asking. Of course my dad then said to my mom he could have just my hand and they were keeping the rest. Which my FH Said as long it was the hand with the ring so he could get his money back, lol

Modern - he told my family that he was planning to propose but didn't ask permission
