Ask for parents blessing???

blu2green77

I am curious as to how many of your guys asked your parents for their blessing? Is this really done anymore?? My boyfriend is really shy around others but not around me, so I can't see him asking for my parents blessing before he pops the question. My parents are well aware that him and I have been talking about getting married for some time now but I just don't want them to get the wrong idea about him if he doesn't ask them first. What are your opinions girls??

My FI asked my parents for their blessing, I knew he was gonna do it, though. He's not very subtle, lol. I absolutely loved that he asked them though! It really depends on what your FI and your parents are like.

My fiance asked my mom and my little sister (3 years old) for permission.  It was important to him that my mom knew how he felt about me & that he was going to love & take care of me (although she already knew that).  But FI is old school & my sister loved that he asked and she got super excited about being a flower girl.I agree with PP that it depends on your boyfriend and your parents & if it would mean something to either of them if he asked

Mine asked my Dad. He wanted to give my Dad a chance to ask him any questions since he doesn't see him much (we live over 10 hours from home now). He wanted to do it in person, and it makes a great story to hear once you are engaged!!

Mine didn't...he's never even met my parents. BUT...I live in SC and my parents live in MI, I've only been home once since living here, and my fiance is in the Marines and has been in training for 6 months now and was gone the only time that they would've had the chance to meet. But they know that I'm never going to live in MI again, so they haven't resented it or anything, they've been super supportive and excited - they just want me to be happy, and I'm sure your parents are the same - no matter what happens, when it all comes down to it they'll just want to know that you're happy.

My FI (now H) did...my parents are divorced, and he actually called both my mom and my dad (and my sister!)!  My Dad is an old school guy when it comes to manners, and was so grateful that my FI did this (he even incorporated it into his speech in the wedding).  I think it's a great gesture and a great tradition to continue, but that's just me!

As well as pretty much everyone else my FI did the same. He called them and asked for their approval and blessing for us to get married! They live quite a distance away from us. I thought it was extremely important for him to do that. (not that he knew it was, I had never told him.)
