That's the way I see it. Anything I do in my life, I do without my parents' permission (trust me, I have done plenty of things without it). I am an adult and what I do is my choice. But anything in life is easier when the people you love are behind you. If it's something huge like getting married, I would do what I want but feel infinitely better if my parents approve, especially my dad. But that's the relationship I have with my parents, many people don't need or want it and that's okay. Asking the father for the daughter's hand may not be for everyone, but it'd be something I would like. Plus, my dad is totally old school and likes to feel important. He knows I'm not really "his" to give away, but the act of it would...oh lord, he'd eat it up.
