Thanks everyone - I'm delighted! He is a lovely lad. We all go to my mum's for tea once a week, and he joins in everything, even the washing up . We all get on very well.

He's quite MSE as well, doesn't like debt :money:

Another plus, he's willing to do the accounts for Brownies for me. It's only balancing the income and expenditure, but it's a job I really don't enjoy. He likes it though, and as he studied accounting, he was talking about it in more depth than needed. I might take him up on the offer of helping with an assets register though

Well now he's nearly officially family it's be a shame to waste those talents!!!!!

Seriously - so pleased for your girl that she seems to have found a real keeper, hope you can enjoy all the planning and excitement.

Dont all good boyfriend's help out when at their girlfriends grandparents? Id be more shocked if they didnt.

But yes sounds like a keeper

I think it is lovely when a guy asks permission to marry someones daughter. Really respectful. Though when my ex asked my dads permission he said no. So he asked me without me being aware of this and I said yes. My dad got it right unfortunately.

I think it's sickening. We don't own our children. Anyone who asked us for our daughter's 'hand in marriage' would not be worthy of her.

Congratulations to your family, OP.

Sickening? Come on! :rotfl:It's a tradition which shows respect for the parents that's all.

I think you deciding that a lad asking for your permission to propose to your daughter is "not worthy" of her, is a million times more mental than him asking in the first place?

Seriously, lighten up!

Am I surprised at your reaction? No!

OP - many congratulations to your daughter and b/f ...and to his parents for bringing up a well-mannered son! I wish them every happiness - and may you all enjoy this happy time.
