Did your fiance "ask permission" or meet with your parents to ask their blessing? How far in advance did he/she do this before proposing?
I'm just curious... my boyfriend and I have been talking marriage and he said he's really nervous to ask my parents, haha.
We also want to use my late grandmother's diamond, so we're trying to figure out the timeline etiquette to ask for that. I thought he should ask for their blessing, then at a later date ask about the diamond.
