| I asked my fiance's parents for their permission. It's really more of a sign of respect than anything else. | ||||

But I knew they'd give me permission... they both really like me. Again, it was more about respect than getting an answer. I showed them the ring, her mom gushed over it a little, they said they were glad for us, and they bought me lunch. | ||||

Hell, even if my fiance's parents had said 'no,' I'd have still asked her. | ||||

| I don't know...I don't think my parents expect the one to marry me to ask them for their permission, but I do think they would appreciate the gesture. My parents tend to have several old-fashioned values. It's a nice thought... | ||||

I'm not the one who's gonna put up with you forever and ever."  | ||||
