sheri posted:I'm getting married the first weekend of May. My fiance did not ask for my father's permission. I would not have liked it if he ask my father, as I don't like the patriarchy of it all. This is exactly what I asked my fiancé do. I hate the idea of him having to ask for permission, because I'm not my parents' property (or anyone's, for that matter); I'm an adult and I can make decisions for myself. However, my parents are a little more traditional, and I figured it would be a nice compromise for him to get together with my parents alone for breakfast one day and just inform them of his intentions to marry me--no asking, just politely letting them know. Even though it was my idea (which I guess is a little weird), my fiancé agreed that it would be a good way to placate the folks. I guess I should add that we'd all already known it was coming, so there wasn't any element of surprise (I told my parents a long time ago I knew I'd marry him). I can't speak to that. In our case, though, it was a nice little formality so Mom and Dad could feel included (even though we'd be getting married regardless of what they said), and we still maintain our independence.
