Parental Permission: Modern or Traditional?

Traditional, he asked my dad weeks before proposing to me!

Traditional. She didn't necessarily ask for my mom's permission, but she did ask for her blessing.

No permission asked! He didn't see the point haha, it wouldn't have changed him asking me!

Traditional. FH did ask for my dad's blessing

Modern. I explicitly told FH not to ask permission, and he actually had never heard of the tradition. He did call my parents a few days before to tell them when and where he was proposing and to invite them to a dinner that night to celebrate

Traditional! He asked both my parents.

He didn't ask for permission. In his mind, my answer is the only one that mattered.

I was on the fence but it was very important to my FH, he asked for my dads permission and blessing

Modern. No asking for my hand from anyone....especially since we've been shacked up for years anyway. No one really to provide input on that. LOL

Modern. No permission/blessing was asked for before he proposed.

Modern no permission needed .... we have been together since high school so it was about time haha

Traditional. He went over to my house when I was getting my nails done and asked. Both of my parents were there lol!

Modern! I would have said no if he has asked my father first 😂

Traditional! He asked both my parents a few weeks before the proposal. I didn't really care and my parents are very progressive about it but it was important to him and his parents are very traditional and recommended he ask.

Traditional. He had dinner with my parents separatly and asked them. Then he went on to take my youngest two siblings out and asked them. Lastly, he took my older two sisters and my younger sister out to talk to them.

Traditional, He asked my dad and when he proposed that was the first thing i asked before I said yes.

There's something special about knowing your father or mother approves who you are going to spend the rest of your life with.

Even though I'm 40 years old, we've dated for 4 years, and this is my 2nd marriage, it was important to my FH to speak with my parents, and they were so appreciative of him including them. He even made sure my brother and sister were there when he asked. My family is very close-knit. My ex never asked my father and I think he was a little hurt by that. If you are from a Latino family, you likely know what I mean. He asked over 2 months ahead of time and I'm shocked they never spilled the beans. lol

He didn’t ask permission. My dad died when I was a teen and I’m not super close to my mom. My aunt is more of a mom and my mom more like an aunt.

Traditional. FH met my parents for coffee and asked them for their blessing. my parents and I both were surprised and so happy he did

Modern. I told him I would be very upset and offended if he asked my parents before me. I am the one making the decision to marry him, not them.
