Question for those married/engaged NTR

    He called my parents before hand and I thought it was sweet.  I am not quite sure he was asking his permission, just kind of giving the heads up.  He is pretty shy and for him to make that phone call was a big deal and I know my dad appreciated it.  I was also living in Europe at the time and he was flying over to spend time traveling, so it was a nice way to include them in on the plans being so far away.

    He told my Mom he was going to do it before we went to Prague, where he proposed. It wasn't a question, he was just stating his plans.

    I don't like the history behind the gesture. SO will not be asking my father when the time comes.

    I agree.  It's not my dad's decision who I marry.  DH did not "ask permission."

    No, he didn't ask and I never would've expected him too.  But then again, my biological dad wasn't really in my life at the time we got engaged, and I'm not that close with my stepdad.  And my mom probably would've thought it was silly if DH asked her lol.  To me, asking permission of the father is pretty old-fashioned.

    My husband did and I fully expected him too and I also expect any man that marries our daughters too as well.  He actually did it while I was there, but we had been discussing marriage so it's not like I was surprised at all.

    C asked for my dad's blessing before he proposed and I would have been disappointed if he hadn't.  My dad and I were very close (he has since passed away) and my dad was also very traditional.  C asked when we were back in Detroit for the weekend - he went downstairs with my dad to help with a box or something and when they came back up, my dad got out the Crown Royal and was all "C and I are going to do a shot."  It was odd at the time but it made sense after C proposed and he told me the story.

    I fully expect E to ask for the father's blessing when he proposes and I would hope that M's future husband asks C as well - I think it's romantic and a nice gesture (and I am very liberal).

    Yes he did. After I said yes I asked "did you ask my dad?"

    My DH asked my dad for my hand in marriage. He brought the ring he had purchased for me. I saw it as a sign of respect toward my parents and me that he asked first. I even asked (after I already said yes!) if he had asked my dad first. I probably would have still said yes but would have told him he needed to talk to my folks.

    He did not ask my dad and I am sure my dad did not mind. My parents LOVE my husband. We got married after 4 years of dating/living together.

    my husband asked my mom for permission before asking me! He also got down on one knee to propose since I am traditional!!!

    Same here.

    i think my dad would have advised against marrying him if he had ;)

    it also pissed me off when, while shopping for a car for me, the guy at the car dealership was addressing my dad rather than me. we did not get a car from that dude.

    This.  Dad said he couldn't imagine a better man to take over and they did a shot of Ouzo. I can't imagine him not asking for my dad's blessing.  But I am from a pretty traditional family.  I think my dad would've been disappointed if he didn't talk to him first (as would I )  I am a daddy's girl...to this day!

    He asked for my dad's blessing, and I thought it was really sweet.

    My DH didn't even propose. We just got married. However, I wouldn't have wanted him to ask anyway. I do not speak to my father, and I am not that close to my step-father.
