My DH wanted to ask my father in person, but my dad was on swing shift (midnights that week) and DH works long hours, so it was next to impossible to get them together, never mind alone. So the day before he called up my house and my mom answered....

My FH asked my dad's permission when they were visiting us last June. He didn't actually propose until the following December. I thought that it was a really romantic gesture and showed a lot of respect towards my parents.

I think its a sweet and respectrul gesture for the FH to ask the father. Your right, it's more of a "can I have your blessing" not "Will you allow it". My FH asked my dad, but he's not very good at being sneaky...

I agree that it depends on the family. I don't speak to my dad so my fh would have asked my mom for her blessings. However, we were in France at the time and fh couldn't get her phone number out of me and called without me knowing so he...

My FH asked my dad the evening before! And here I thought they were discussing hunting and didn't think anything of it... Lol! My FH knew he needed to ask out of respect to my dad, and with both of our families that's just what the man does...

My FH and I have been together for 7 years. So he did talk to my dad about proposing but it was more to just tell my dad his intentions and get his blessing. It was kind of funny cause my dad and mom said "well its about time!"...

My FH asked my dad and stepmom for their permission and then asked me to marry him that same night. He would have asked them the day before, but he wussed out and had to go back the next night. The whole story is pretty funny.

There's no requirement or anything, but I think most fathers really like to be asked. It's just a nice thing to do when you're marrying into a family.

As for time restrictions. . .well let me just share a story. I...

My FH did ask both my mom and dad (they are divorced) for their blessings...We live several states away from both of them so he called my dad first, which wasn't a good experience (he actually hung up on FH!!!!), then he called my mom right...
