No. Not because they didn’t like me, quite the opposite, or I was afraid he’d say no but because I was afraid they would spoil the surprise.

I didn't ask.
Her dad and I were close. Her mom didn't really like me. Ironic, considering that we lost my FIL 3 years ago and my wife and I now live with the MIL and help her take care of the place. She treats me as good as she does her own son, maybe better. |

I didn't, but she asked me. I don't think my ex-wife asked my parents either. I've never heard of asking permission to do so until reading this thread. I thought that was just something from the old days.

My wife's father had passed away before we met, so I had to ask her mom. I was smart enough to grease the skids with a couple of her brothers and 3 of her sisters.

I did... although I wish her dad would have said "no".

Whenever I am blessed enough to have that opportunity to ask permission/blessing I certainly will. I'm old fashioned like that even though I'm 25.

Yes. Parents were giddy... It went off as scripted as you might have imagined... Worst part...did it at a marine O-club!
Didn't matter really, it's really about as real as Santa...

There should also be a listing of what family members said at the wedding.
My wife's brother came to me and gave me the "its my sister' bs speech. What a load of crap. He doesn't get call unless he needs something.
