Eh...my husband did it and I was mildly upset about it until I realized that my husband asking my parents, well my Dad, had nothing to really do with me. It is more of a show of respect to his new in-laws. After I thought about it, I thought it was kinda sweet. At the end of the day, you are grown and you are going to marry whomever you choose.
