to ask permission to marry her. Besides a shotgun by the chair, What should I say or do? Serious replies are not really what I'm looking for here, but whatever you got. BTW, he's a great guy and a good match for her.
Apparently that is what my Grandfather said to my Dad. I'm not 100% sure he ever actually said YES. It may have just been a NO and never discussed again.
Well I'm priming RyanJR to pop the Q to one of the Greenr

kids - not really picky which one at this point - to unite two great Tigernet Families.
Full disclosure - Marrying off my daughter to the Warlord's boy was my first choice, but there's a 30-ish year age gap that society frowns on. (Thanks Obama)
If you tell him "no" and walk away, he's too dumb to be able to process that. Most likely, he will reply with "huh?" and look really confused.
He's strong as an ox, though... like a poor man's Gage Cervenka.

on how he'd be a great fit for your daughter. Tell him you and your wife like him as well. Then tell him you will get back in touch with him in a week because you have promised interviews to two more candidates, but that you and your wife definitely think he's got the lead for now and you're SURE these other two interviews are just a formality.
When we drink, we get drunk.
When we get drunk, we fall asleep.
When we fall asleep, we commit no sin.
When we commit no sin, we go to heaven.
So, let's all get drunk, and go to heaven!
a clean bill of health from a doctor, two pints of his blood and a NDA drafted up by a good lawyer, I think conservativealexor spooneye® could help with.
Also, tell him you're not afraid to go back to prison
set up a checking account for daughter - put in funds. No more funds and whatever you do not spend is yours. Limits the $5,000 wedding cakes, etc. Just gotta be firm about it.

I took my FIL out for beers to ask his permission. IT was very clear what I was doing and what my intentions were.
I gave him my best spiel I could and he said no, thinking it would be funny and a great laugh for him. I was nervous as hell the entire time, and this was really demoralizing to me. He took a moment that was about his daughter and myself and made it about him. This, along with a few other monumental life experiences of mine have been tainted by his selfishness.
moment between the two of you, hoisting grog and being guys. Just between the two of you.
He was responding to a snot-nosed, sperm-filled kid that was asking him if it was OK to punish and wallow all over his little girl - leading with his penor - like a tractor ripping up the land in the pristine Swiss Alps countryside.
Even if this was his 5th daughter to get hitched - every one has to be a pretty tough deal for Dad.
If anything, he should be BOOOOOO'd because his response is probably what 80% of the Dad's say at first - lacks creativity, and careful crafting of a response that would REALLY get you knotted up.

“Okay. But your taking one of my favorite people in the world away from me. So leave me now. And come back with something you think could make me as happy as my daughter will make you. Or at least something that will make me forget that she is gone. Go now son! Bourbon! We will both need it if this marriage will ever work out.”
