I've expressed to my current boyfriend (and possible future husband) that if he were decide to propose, asking my father is a must and I'd be really disappointed if he didn't. I have a great relationship with both my parents and I just think it's a nice gesture that shows respect. Pls I'm confident my parents would be absolutely thrilled, because they love him. My boyfriend was brought up that asking the father is a given, so he has no problems with my request.

I know you're technically asking permission but I think it's also a heads up and like I said, respect. I'm not sure what I'd do if my parents said no and he asked anyway. I do know someone whose fiance asked her father to marry her, the father said no (apparently his girlfriend's family is well off and his family is not, but by no means poor), and he proposed anyway. He told his girlfriend what her father had said and she flipped out and married her boyfriend regardless of her dad's opinion.

Anyway, back to the main topic, congrats FSUZeta to your family!! I'm jealous your daughter got to have a candle pass. It's such a beautiful ceremony that I've only seen performed once in my chapter and I loved it.
