Did you ask your wife's parents for their blessing, before you proposed?

Do you think she would have said yes, if they said no?

I think their main goal was to get me married off. The dude worked at Boeing. He was a good choice except he turned out to be unstable. I just missed the initial warning signs.

@Dutchess_III but did he ask for their blessing??

I don’t remember. He may have.

I didn’t ask them.
I asked 2 women to marry me. They said “no”, but one of their parents would have said “yes”. My wife asked me, and didn’t ask my parents first.

No, old fashioned claptrap.

I should mention that my son-in-law did ask me. I thought it was sweet, though old fashioned.

I did not, reasoning she is not her fathers property but an adult fully capable of making her own choices.

So, I asked, she accepted and we told both sets of parents that we were going to.

Nope. They were both dead.

No. The wife wouldn’t permit it.

Of course not.

No, I did not and I would not. She is her own person, capable of making her own life decisions and is not someone else’s to “give away”.
