Tonight I was asked

macafee2 · 19th February 2017, 20:24

Tonight my daughters boyfriend came over and asked for my approval to ask my daughter to marry him.

Nice fella to come and ask something that may be old fashioned.
I told him yes as he is a nice bloke.

That to me, is how it should be done. Well done to the guy, he has class.

That is lovely. I hope she says yes.

Keeping with that fine tradition.....Isn't it the Father of the Bride who pays for the whole shebang

Seriously though.....sounds like a proper gentleman and I wish your Daughter and future Son in Law all the best

Great to know that by following tradition, he impresses his future father-in-law. Good news all round.

Fantastic to hear how he conducted himself macafee2

I aske for my future wife's hand in marriage to her father.
He was an ex policeman and I was a bit of a vagabond.
He had big hands like me and when always shook hands together we always gripped tight until are fingers went numb, like a show down

He said yes and the I surprised her with the engagement ring on Christmas Eve 1999

I am always a great believer in chivalry . . .

As only a true gent would

I did the same with Fiona's dad almost 21 years ago.

I have never been sure how I would take to a boyfriend. This chap is hard to dislike so-far and my daughter seems so happy.

He already has the ring and she the dress.
