re: Did you ask your girlfriends dad for permission to marry her?

I didn't read this whole thread, just jumping in.

I say attempt because it's dang near impossible to get him away from everyone for 1 on 1 discussions.

My daughter's fiancé called me on a Monday and said he'd like to come over on the weekend to "talk to me about something." We decided on Friday. I knew what he wanted so I bought his favorite beer and got something ready to grill Friday night. I always liked the kid, but the way he handled this meeting only increased the respect.

He told me how much he loved my little girl. He told me why they are perfect for each other. He told me about his future plans for his career, finances, marriage, family, etc. He may have been a little more formal than needed. But you should at least ask and have a talk with the man.

That was last year and I walk her up the isle to him this Saturday.
