Asking a dad for permission to marry a woman is fucking disgusting and needs to go away. Women aren’t property. Children aren’t property. Fucking toxic shit.
Also boomer-ass “wife bad.”
It’s more like “can I be in your family” now a days. If my wife’s dad said no, I would’ve still married her. But knowing that I’m accepted into their family is nice.
Is that “asking for hand in marriage” a american tradition, like the “driving license as a rite of passage” thing?Edit: scratch that. I just remembered, that it’s likely from a christian origin and is older than iron.
I don’t know if it came from elsewhere first, but it’s not very common nowadays in the US.
It’s old-fashioned, and it’s not like the woman’s parents have the authority to say ‘no’. It’s more like a gesture of humility, then a “we accept you into our family” sort of thing. If someone does it these days, it’s probably in the south and with a really traditional family who they’re trying to impress.
If that dude told me to wait for that reason, I would understand. Hell he can walk her down the isle while riding the bike that would be awesome
Well he wouldn’t be walking down the isle then would he?
Idle the bike and push it along your legs, blow all the petal from the flower girls away with the exhaust
That’s a better idea, I was wondering how one could “walk her down the isle whilst riding the bike”
Reminds me of when trump said: “when you see somebody walking down the street with out their legs, with out their arms”
One of the few actually true and relatable stories found in the wild.
Posting this online… is ‘the wife’ locked up without contact to other people and without internet access?
And the daughter too
What are you imagining would happen if the wife found out? Likely, the husband told the wife about this whole thing the next time he talked to her. I take it you’ve never been married?
“Hello everyone I know: Just wanted to let you all know that my daughter’s boyfriend is planning to ask her to marry him, but hasn’t done it yet. Like, comment, and subscribe if you agree that we should keep this hush-hush!”
Heh you still think the post isn’t made up bullshit?
Wife still thinks he only uses their shared account
How come he’s got a bike “coming” but still needs the money? Has he not bought it? What sort of arrangement is that?
Could have put a deposit down with an agreement he gets to test it before committing to purchase.
Or it’s the Internet and is lying
Or it’s the Internet and is lying
Who would do that?! Who would lie on the internet?!
It could just be weird phrasing. It could be that he’s saving up for it and plans to have the money at that time. He’s expecting to have the money, so he’s expecting to buy it, or put another way he’s “got it coming”
Whenever you order a vehicle, you pay a small bit down, but full purchase isn’t until it arrives. Sometimes you can get deals on custom orders that fell through at the last minute that a person didn’t buy.
Must be an american thing
I did the same thing in Germany, but the down payment was much higher so people tend to commit fully. It’s actually more of an exception in the US as people tend to not custom order as dealers have loads of new cars ready to go on the lot.
Frankly I’d prefer them to switch to a custom order model, but there are too many impulse car buyers here.
wife bad
Where does it say that
It’s in the subtext. This is boomer humor and the wife being bad is a common ingredient.
In that case…
