Asking Father's Permission/Blessing?

My FH asked my parents permission. It was very important to him because he feels it's the respectful thing to do. He also asked for my dad's permission to date me.

Mine took my parents to dinner to ask them. It was important to both him and to my dad.

My fiancé asked my dads permission. He actually took me and my parents out to dinner and over dessert he asked my dad if he could marry me.

DH didn't ask *permission* so to speak, but he did ask for their blessing, because he knew it was important to me. I already knew my parents loved him, I just didn't want them finding out about the engagement after the fact.

Hell no. I am not a piece of property to be bargained over. I'm an independent adult who can decide who I will marry. My parents would have been like, "are you seriously asking us first? do you even know our daughter?" if my FH would have asked them. FH would have never wanted to ask them either!

My FH asked for my parents blessing and permission. I believe he asked them when he had the ring, to show that he was serious. We had been together 9 years we he talked to my parents. He asked because he knew it was important to me.

ETA: It was also important and traditional for both of our families. He also talked to my parents prior to us moving in together (on two separate occasions - the first time we moved in together, I was going to grad school out of state (over 300 miles away). The second time, I got a job in NC - which promoted over a 600 mile move. He got the permission/blessing, three-fold - two times for the moves and then for proposing.

I think you naming this post with the word "permission" is not going to be appreciated. Ha. I prefer the word "blessing". The first time around ex asked my dad. I was 20 and living at home, it was sweet. This time around im 27, don't live at home, and it's my second marriage. FH didn't even think of asking for my dads blessing which is totally fine with me. I think it's sweet and with some families it's most likely expected. But I also understand not doing it. Whatever makes the process the happiest for everyone

My FH asked my big brother for his blessing, because he remembered once when i said that if i were to ever get married, I would want my brother to walk me down the aisle. I was originally going to ask my brother's dad (Len) because he'd been more of a father to me than my own, but he unfortunately passed away several years prior to FH and I getting together. So I decided on my brother taking up the mantle and FH remembered that. My brother was pleased as punch when FH asked him for his blessing!

FH didn't. I don't even think FH knew that he was going to do to it until he did! He bought my ring while he was on a work trip and proposed within an hour of his plane landing! My dad and I's relationship is pretty superficial so it would have been weird if he asked him.

The thought is lovely but it's not us.

My FH did. He knew it was important to me for him to ask both my parents for permission so he did.

He did not because my father was never a part of my life.

No. He got their permission/blessing when we moved in together (he insisted on making sure they were okay with it, even though I told him it was my choice not theirs. It was actually kind of sweet.). They knew that we were moving in together with the plan to eventually marry, so he didn't ask for permission/blessing before proposing.

My dad is not in my life, so he asked my mom. I had once said I was old fashioned in some aspects & thought my mom woukd like that. He interpreted that as he had to ask her first.

After dating for two year (and living together for 2) my dad gave him his blessing aka asked him if he was ever going to marry me and what his intentions where my dad also asked him if he needed money for a ring. My fiance earned respect by telling my dad he wanted to buy it... lol pretty funny

FH did. He actually got my parents, grandparents and siblings together to receive their blessing and to help him play along with the proposal.

He was going to when we were at my parents a few weeks before he proposed. He said there was never a good time to talk to them and ask for their blessing though. He knew that they would have given their blessing because my mother had offered him a family ring six months or so before he proposed. He declined as he wanted to give me his mother's ring. His mother passed before we met.

DH asked for my my fathers blessing, even though we were already living together at the time. It was important to DH

FH asked for my dad's permission/blessing. It was actually important to all parties (myself, my dad, and FH). Although I'm not Chinese, I pretty much cosign everything @Ninjaaa said.

FH called my parents that afternoon more to give them the heads up than for permission or a blessing. My mom had offered a family ring to him (which he didn't take) two years prior, so it wasn't a question of them giving their blessing. He felt it was respectful to tell them first though.

My FH asked my dad.
