[quote=Anonymous]My mom always regretted (for reasons I’m not clear on) that my dad hadn’t asked my grandfather. I knew that mattered to her so I asked my then boyfriend to ask my dad before proposing. He was very against the idea, but I said it would mean a lot to my parents - or at least my mom. He said “I’m okay telling them this is my plan, but I won’t ask for permission.” Ultimately he called and said, “I’m planning to propose”. My dad said “that’s wonderful news, can I tell (her mom)?” My husband said, “I’d prefer you didn’t. I’m going to propose in about 5 minutes and I’d like her to tell her mom,” and my dad said something like, “good luck.” My brother in law handled it similarly. He pulled my dad aside at cocktail party they were both attending. They were all planning to go fishing early the next day and my dad claimed he was too tired, but really it turned out he was bowing out so my sister and her husband could be alone on the river, where he then proposed.
