Private has some huge advantages.

That's my other pet peeve - doing the big public show. If you ask on the Jumbo-tron at the Broncos game, don't expect that she'll say Yes just to keep from embarrassing you!

Yes, it should. Planning can make it even better than it would've been.

LOL - Do you think the Broncos are gay friendly?

Kinda like. Hey you got something in your teeth. How would you like for me to be there for the rest of your life to help point that out for you?

My son in law did ask my daughter's dad out of respect, however he did ask my daughter first.

No wonder you are single.

I think weddings are stupid. Really stupid..A judge married us and we right to the airport and flew to Maui for 21 days...

Where did all your hair go VL?

I stopped wondering a long time ago.. Viking..When we need to know how to cook on a hot plate, or "how long do you cook a TV Dinner?", we'll ask..Until then only post on subjects where you have something to offer

Do people still do that? It seemed to work well for me.

Eww. My husband did this. I read him the riot act.

The perfect proposal will be different for everyone. Preferably it will be in a place and time when you are sharing something you both love. A shy person will not appreciate being put on the jumbotron. Mine was on a beach at sunset. I do remember spending half an hour helping a couple at A Basin dig an engagement ring out of the snow after he dropped it. rofllol

So did your Dad "give you away" at the wedding then??? I don't understand why you would read him the riot act. Depending on your relationship with your dad at least. If you hated your dad, I'm sure you wouldn't want, or care about his blessing.

Asking for a blessing afterwards and asking for permission before are two entirely differnet things. What does a guy do if daddy refuses his daughters hand? Should I ask his mommy for permission before I accept? Obviously you understand the concept of being treated as chattel so I won't try to explain it to you. Another example of knowing your intended before picking a method of popping. Some women might find it endearing.

Since you asked, both my parents accompanied me down the aisle, but this woman wasn't given away.
