Another day, another wedding

[trailerprincess]

My little sister got engaged at the weekend. She's in Rome with her bloke at the moment on holiday and he popped the question. Though I have known for maybe about 6 months that he was going to ask her , it still feels odd to think she's going to be getting married. My folks were impressed that he asked their 'permission' first - it was a good move. I think they might have even got over the shock of his tattoos and piercings by now as well :D

Awww thats nice :) My husband asked my dads 'permission' too - a nice old fashioned value.

I was in HMV the other day and was stood behind a very pretty, 'normal' looking girl holding her hands with her boyfriend who was this 6 foot odd strapping lad with a mohican, tatoos on the side of his head and a shedload of piercings. They looked really sweet together though although i couldn't help thinking what her parents must've thought the first time they saw him.

The whole asking permission thing may be a little too traditional for me. I know my parents don't give a shit.

Hey, what happens if the parents say no? Then what? Would you still do it or would you just be like :( and break up with her?

I hereby diagnose you with giving people near you the marriage virus. I'm immune!

I must be the carrier as I also seem to be immune. In fact, I'd go one step futher and say I am a man-repellant.

Not on the outside... :D

I remember when I "asked permission".

I think I said something along the lines of "I bought Jess a piece of jewerly the other day, and apparently it's tradition for me to come to you two and make sure it's ok if I give it to her."

Her mom got really excited and hugged me, and her dad said "Well, as long as you think that's what she'd want, go ahead."

I think a good way out of that is to say that you would like their blessings instead or more comfortable getting married with their blessings. pretty much saying its ok with them...but if they say no blessings it won't be as uncomfortable...actually it probably would.

I did the whole permission thing since my father in law is old school. He wasn't down at first, but by the end of our conversation he gave me a hug and called me son.
