I think it depends on whether the old boy's a jerk or not. You've got to be careful about setting a precedent.
I asked for permission before I proposed to my girlfriend. Her Dad gave me a long look and then said, "Okay son. But you can't f@#$ her."
I thought he meant no nookie before the wedding, which wouldn't have been so bad. But no dice. I have the bluest balls of any husband I know.
