That is exciting news! I'm afraid I would call everyone I know and say "Now don't tell anyone, but . . . ."

How exciting!!! It’s awesome that you all get along. My husband had his parents ask mine. I didn’t like it. Ooh...I would not be ok with that. It might be a deal breaker for me. I don't even like that the future son in law asked 'permission' in the OP. They don't need permission. I dont mind mind asking parents for their blessing/giving a head's up - but the person needs to be clear that even if the parents don't like it, it's still happening. Do you have children? What do you mean by a 'deal breaker'? I think that it is very respectful that the boyfriend went to talk to workingclassdog & DH, about future plans with their DD. It is so nice that he showed them the ring and about how he intends to propose. This young man has manners and is respectful to his 'elders'. Bringing along his parents would be a bit weird, as it is the 'parents of the bride' to invite the 'parents of the groom' for a meal to meet & greet each other, if they don't each other very well. |

Nice but I'd advise my DD no marrying until living together for a few years. But that's just me. He sounds sweet.

Congratulations, workingclassdog ! He sounds like a very thoughtful young man. peabay, how did one of your daughters get to be 27? When I read that, I thought that it *must* be a typo.  |

That is fun. One of my granddaughters is going to get engaged soon. The boy has talked to my son already. (and to me too!!) He's a keeper, and I'm so excited for them. They have a ways to go before getting married. He still has a year or so of school left. I can hardly contain myself when I'm with them now, and still have a bit more than a week to go. He has it all planned out.

Parent of the groom asking parent of bride for permission for the two to marry is just too... dowryish for me. I genuinely would have trouble accepting a proposal in that scenario, were I the bride to be in question. |

How exciting! I was totally shocked when I came home from vacation engaged and my parents knew, because DH had already spoken to them. He did ask for their blessing, and also told them his parents were 100% against it, would not be contributing a dime to it, and may not even attend our wedding. He wanted my parents to be prepared to be there for me, when I found out about his parents reaction. I hope those that think it's unacceptable for a man to ask for a blessing from a woman's parents to propose, didn't have their own dad/parents walk them down the aisle, and will put a full stop to any discussion of having the bride's father walking their daughters down the aisle.  |

Regarding his parents asking about going with him to see us. I truly believe they were just wanting to catch up with us since we have not seen them since Christmas. We met for the 1st time at Christmas time. They are very lovely people and I think they are just as excited as we are they are getting married (OR should I say, as long as DD says yes..haha).
Regarding them living together or not living together is between them. His family is a little more traditional than we are and that is 100% fine. Her boyfriend wants to be honorable and I totally applaud that.
It's not like they haven't traveled together, stayed overnights together and stuff like that. It's for them to figure out, not for me or DH or his family to suggest.
Unless DD says no (which I am 99.5% sure she is not going to) we are all excited and can't wait for the phone call or FB post or however she tells us.
