My fiance proposed to me on a scrolling news marquee downtown. We took pictures of it, threw them in the middle of some vacation pictures, and had my parents look through the stack of photos. They were quite surprised and happy!

The idea of asking for permission is out dated and unnecessary. Asking for their blessing is a polite and meaningful gesture of respect .
When I got engaged I said to my parents at dinner, "Last night he asked for my hand in marriage and I said yes."

i imagine the solutions about speaking on your bf are likely sturdy suggestion. he's an individual and also you may't basically make him do what you pick and not in any respect pick to be on the point of his niece, yet perchance except you tell him the way you experience, issues received't replace. Do they social gathering typically? If no longer, perchance you may want to do different issues even as they do and not in any respect be aggravated by potential of it. in case you imagine he might want to be like this with gfs too, and it does no longer basically be you he might want to attempt this insensitive area of, perchance both both one of you are able to compromise somewhat on it (perchance he might want to be more effective thoughtful, contain you more effective or think again his behaviour etc.), or if no longer and it really is basically too a lot for you, perchance you may want to imagine about the position this relationship is going. sturdy success with it, wish it truly works out.

i tried taking my parents out for dinner to tell them, but they were upset (we told them ahead of time, and then went out to dinner to celebrate with both sets of paretns) so that didn't work too well. fast forward a couple years. i was going to try this idea, and feel freee to use it yourself!! this weekend is valentine's day weekend...so my fiance and i are making dinner for us and my parents at my house. we're making spaghtetti, and i'm baking a heart shaped red velvet chocolate cake. during dessert, since i know already that my parents will be like "why the heck did they cook?!" i'm going to start out by saying something like "you're probably wondering why -------- (insert fiance's name here)and i made all this nice dinner. we wanted to tell you that we're getting married, and plan on having the wedding -----------(insert date here) it was a cute idea that occured to me, and i hope that it goes over much better than our original time. good luck!!and congrats!!!

I never got to tell my mom.
My fiance called up my dad and asked permission to marry me.
My dad then called my mom (she was at my aunts) and said that my fiance just asked permission to marry me. My mom cried.
Then when we got back from the cruise (he asked my dad right before we left on the cruise so they couldn't let it slip to me) I called to let them know we got back ok and let mom know I said yes.

Out of respect for your parents, your fiance should ask their permission to marry you. That's what I did and it just shows them he is committed and there will be a mutual respect between the two.

You should've had your boyfriend call her and ask her permission and let her know his intentions if they know each other. He could still do it if you're sure noone has told her the news and then let her know the next day or something lol. If not, then why are you hesitant? Are you very young? If she's nearby I'd meet her for lunch and let her know. If she's far away, a call would suffice.

I called mine and said, "hey, mom, guess what, we got engaged!" Simple.
