Asking for the Father's Blessing?

I asked. My wife and I had been dating over 2 years and I had a pretty good relationship with her father but it still took 4 or 5 trips helping him carry stuff in from the car before I could find the courage to finally ask him.

In my book it's just the right thing to do.

The first time around, I asked because my bride wasn't 18 yet. The second time around, I wanted to ask but was denied the opportunity due to timing.

My daughter's fiancé didn't ask me... They're getting married in May! I think it would have been a sign of respect. However, I think things are different now and people lack social decorum.

It is what it is! Ask if you can or if the situation presents itself!
