Then you would have a Romeo/Juliet scenario on your hands, and you wouldn't want that...

Nope, didnt bother because we both knew they couldnt stand me and my awful, immoral long hair and rowdy reputation.

They pretty much came around after i joined the army though, so it was mostly "all good" after that.

We made it 13 years, not bad for a couple of 19 year olds.

I'd probably wish that I could, but no. It's a complicated situation, but ultimately I'd just try to be happy that she's happy.

In talking with her parents that day, I found out that her Dad had not asked, which I found humorous.
No one actually asks for permission, and anyone who says they have, is wrong whether they realize it or not. What they are actually doing is asking for the father's blessing.

If he says no, they would not have shrugged their shoulders, said "well shoot, so much for that", and broken up with the girl.

Hell, I never asked the wife to marry me; it was just understood that we would.

She was raised by her grandmother, so I had ask her permission. When we announced our plans, her question to me was "How do you expect to provide for my grandaughter in the style for which she has grown accustom?" I answered "Go on welfare."

Game on! We have been married now for 46 years.

20 years later I am wishing I had just accepted the "No" rather than convincing him to let me marry his daughter.

That is right out of the story books, hopefully you are still happily together.

ours was just opposite

After knowing each other for three weeks, we just ran off and got married and didn't invite anyone from either side of the family. We didn't even take friends along. We told them when we got back.

The funnest part of the whole thing, is she stayed in the car while I went in the Marine barracks and won enough money playing pool to do the deal, with a couple bottles of "Cold Duck" and a room at the Holiday Inn to go along with it.
