Theyre super conservative and were both on board with our engagement. Its what she wants for Christmas. The best Ive come up with for worst case scenario is, Well I was asking for your blessing. Not permission.

But shes an only child, so its extremely unlikely they would do anything drastic to keep her from saying yes.

Any CEmen have experience in this area?

If they're on board with the engagement, surely that is giving their blessing?

Sorry, I'm so used to people not being able to type properly, and predictive text, that I read that as they were on board. My bad.

Is it cause you don't feel like you'd get it? I don't see the harm otherwise. It's a good way to start a relationship off with good brownie points.

Let me guess tho...you don't give a fuck what her parents think?

This.

I mean what happens if they don't give their blessing? Do you just not marry the chick? Asking for the permission/blessing of a girl's parents means you think in part they have an ownership over her. It also says to me you don't view her as an equal since you are talking to them first to get their approval over marrying their daughter.

All that needs to be asked are these two simple questions: Do you love her? Does she love you? If the answer to both of these questions is yes then ask away. Or hell, for fun tell her it's the 21st century and you are waiting for her to put a ring on it and to ask you.

It's an outdated tradition based on the idea that she has no personal autonomy and can only marry if her parents agree. There's no need for it, at all.

I never asked for her parents' blessing before I proposed and we all get along fab.

Then you're not paying attention to your overall well being. Constantly being around people that don't like you is gonna have a lingering effect. People who say "I don't give a fuck what the parents think of me" are usually the ones that constantly talk about how the parents don't like them

You say I love your daughter, want to marry her and would like your blessing.

They will most likely give it.

Make it about them and not just about her. Be like "I've been longing for the day to call you mom and dad". Wins every time.

Well outdated or not, I live in the south and its what you do. Its a way to show her family you respect them and their support / approval for your relationship. I went to them while my gf (now wife) was gone. Sat down with them and explained how much I love and respect their daughter, and I want to spend the rest of life making her happy. Showed them the ring and asked for their blessing and permission to ask her to marry. Of course its all just a formality and tradition. It doesnt change anything.

Man, this lacks so much self awareness. Cause if you're gf likes her parents than you kind of are. And if she doesn't, Im sure you'll be dealing with enough of her other problems for that to seem like a big deal anyway.

Wow, misread and thought it said "she's only a child".. I'm tired. Give me a break.

Anyway, just go for it.
If they say no, what will you do? Do it anyway or call your relationship quits??

I never asked for my wife's moms blessing. But she's not like that anyway and she loved me so if I did, I assume she would've said yes lol

Just to be clear,

Im not asking permission. This is a courtesy to them. Were getting married regardless of their answer.

Well that's good. Then go for it. If she's not ok with it then at least you tried to do the right thing.

Unless you're somehow a total scumbag (lol) I don't see how they could possibly express displeasure? You're doing right by her (making her an "honest woman") and doing right by them (asking for their blessing as a sign of respect).

Of course it doesn't matter what they say, but I would think they would be thrilled with someone your age doing something so gentlemanly and old fashioned.
