Popping The Big Question!

[Turbo6man]

I asked my first bride's parents - together, not just Dad.

Second time around it somehow didn't seem necessary.

I think it's just good manners generally and, in some instances as Cro has mentioned it is still custom.

There is one thing for absolute sure and certain - YOU DO NOT WANT THE OUTLAWS OFF-SIDE! it's a funny thing but from all the girls I dated when young and then broke up with, the parents still treated me nice afterwards - usually better than the girls!

Re,

Is there a senior's section on this site? Just kidding.

1970 is not all that long ago, or is it.

When I drive My BA Mk2 Turbo I don't feel old.

Should ask father in law first - I didn't, because I knew that mother in law would let it slip on purpose, just that kind of person.

In my case, I took her away, asked, got a yes, then took father in law aside when we got back, and said that we'd like to get married, and that I hope I had his approval.

He was fine, but I suspect would have preferred I asked him first. However, it was more important to me to ensure that it was a surpricse for my now wife..

Good luck!

IMO , can't hurt to ask. I did, and I still count my ex wife's dad as one of my mates.So much so that I still spend every Xmas day with the ex, my kids and her family Dysfunctional families can work, even my Mum and Dad still socialise with the ex's parents..... go figure

Mate go for it sure cant hurt, probably earn you some respect...... good luck

[turtle33]

its a respect thing and I have none for my father inlaw (he loves volvo's that explains a lot). So I didnt ask him, I even paid for my own wedding so it would never be held against me. The fact that you are askin the question here answers it for you, a definate yes for you and good luck with everything.
