Asking daddy's permission before proposing

[Gusteau]

Not to drag out the hijack, but my mother would be so disappointed in me if I didn't ask for permission first. I do, however, see it as more of a respect thing and less of a permission thing. If he said no it would absolutely not stop me from proposing. FWIW, if my significant other did not have a good relationship with her father I would still probably ask her mother (if they did not have an equally distant relationship).

Anyway, congratulations!
