Well by the time you do that it's usually kind of a formality and the answer is assumed to be yes. What I'm finding absurd here is the idea that you need "permission" from the parents of someone to be engaged to them and that anyone asks this in 2014. Why would an adult need permission from their parents to do ANYTHING for that matter? (Excluding of course the obvious exception of cases where want they wanted to do involved their parents' property.)

Well, that's the rub... there's not much reason to ask unless you see women as chattel.

Obviously I'm thinking of things like borrowing their car or staying at their lake cabin.

But yeah. That's why it's so disgusting.

Before Bushie consummates this marriage, I think it's best he step outside his comfort zone and read up on it first: http://www.amazon.com/Big-Love-Revised-Relationships-People/dp/158761085X/

"Big Big Love"... "People of size"?  Just call it America: The Sex Guide.

No, that's for finding hookers.

I wonder if they've made love yet... Bushie will tell us they haven't.

We certainly know that there's been plenty of sexting going on.

Hey, folks.  Sorry for the absence, I actually went to bed at 20:30 right after I got home.  I was tired after a long day interviewing.  I'm up for the rest of the month (an entire 17 minutes), then I'll go back to bed.  I have not told my parent's, yet, and a 4th of July proposal will not happen.  I'm hoping for the weekend after (July 12) or maybe July 19.  It's just whenever I can get a job.  I do believe it will be before August 1.  There is really no big rush, yet, as the wedding is still 11 months away.  I could conceivably wait until Labor Day to propose and still be fine, but, of course, I want to do it long before then.

Did her dad tell you to make sure you have a job before you ask or something? I was looking forward to a proposal on the 4th with fireworks and bacon cheeseburgers!

Yes.  He trusts me to get a job first so I can prove I can take care of her.

I've never been to the midwest, but I intend to go when I get the invitation. Considering a handful of us are responsible for Jeffison still being Jeffison, it's only courteous that we are invited to the wedding. After all, we are owed it.

And if he isn't going to have an open bar, he better at least grab a couple of 30 racks of PBR for us.

Perhaps the newlyweds will indulge in a sip or two.  Or... Awww heck the groom will have a refreshing Zima!!!  It's your wedding night!  Go nuts!

I doubt Bushie's parents are on facebook. Perhaps Mondale can send them a telegram.

I know for a fact that at least Papa Bushie is.

BUT, BUT, BUT

Do Mama and Papa Bushie know you're asking her Dad?

As a matter of fact, they do.

I have not told my parents his response.  They knew I was going to ask him.

Was "get a job", "lose weight" and "get rid of the creepy mustache" part of his response?

I don't think losing weight is really a concern for either family...

He knows I'm working feverishly to get a job, but yes, that was on the list.  The weight was not, and there is only one person that can tell me to get rid of the mustache, and that is Allison herself.  So far, after 9+ months, she has not told me that, yet.

Wait, Papa Allison gave a list of demands? I didn't know holding the wedding hostage was a possibility. I wrongfully presumed it would be a clean yes or no. What is his complete list of conditions? What happens if/when Bushie fails to complete them? Will Allison be forced to choose between the two men in her life? This season just got a lot more interesting.

I presume that, given the father retains ownership over Allison, he will retain rights to her unless otherwise. It seems like Bushie has entered into an option-contract with Papa Bushie, which vests upon his completion of the list of demands, and Papa Allison will keep it open for an undisclosed amount of time.

I just wonder how long Bushie has to complete this list. Further, looking at this from a property viewpoint, I wonder if Papa Allison has the right to end the engagement should Bushie pop the question next week and then fail to complete the list of demands. I assume that Papa Allison has a right of reentry in Allison subject to the conveyance to Bushie since this sounds like he structured it as a fee simple subject to condition subsequent.

Until Bushie reveals the details on this contract, all we can do is speculate.

It is a clean yes with the only requirement - "get a job".

Again, there are no demands.  The only requirement for proposing to her is that I get a job, first.  No other demands are requirements were made.  Pretty reasonable, I would say, and nothing I wasn't already planning on doing, anyway!
