No I didn't Alex, not yet. I thought to stop at his house on the way in, but it hadn't occurred to stop and see him today, so I didn't call ahead. I'd planned to talk to him Sunday at family day.
They only live maybe 45 minutes away, so I might hop on the bike and ride over before Sunday.
He's awesome. I absolutely love Lisa's whole family, especially her Dad. I know he'll be surprised I asked, being he gave her away a long time ago. But she's his daughter, and I think it's very important. I know that I'd expect the same, even though kids today probably don't know any better.

My Son-In-Law Took Me Out For A Round Of Golf At His Expense & Asked For My Daughter's Hand After. I've Never Seen A Kid So Nervous!

Best Thing He Ever Did, Though!

Best Of Luck To You, Scott!

Always ask. No matter the situation. Unless of course the Father isn't around. It's a motion of Respect and I'm sure it's appreciated by all Fathers.

Congrats again Brother!

glad your asking her Dad, like said above....its all about respect, kids today don't get it....always look her Dad in the eye and have a firm hand shake and remember she will always be Daddy's little girl

I told Alina's father how much I loved his daughter and wanted to spend the rest of my life with her as her husband, if that was alright with him.

And I know three young men that "know better" and will do what's right when it's their time.

Wishing you and Lisa the best that life has to offer.
