Default Poll for y'all that are married, or at least engaged

If you are a dude, did you talk to you intended's parents prior to "popping the question," if a dudette, did your prospective hubby speak to your parents prior to proposing?

You know, the old fashioned asking for your daughter's hand in marriage deal.

If it was not an option, parents were dead or whatever, pick option 3

I popped the Q to her outta the blue the night after I got back from boot camp so I didn't ask her Mom(only parent). I like the old fashion way of asking the parents, but I like being surprising.

Her dad is in prison for life so he didn't get the option of being asked.

I called up and asked both of her parents separately (they are divorced). I knew they both liked me a lot so I wasn't worried about the answer. However, even if somehow they had said no that wouldn't have stopped me from marrying her. It's our life together, not theirs, and their disapproval wouldn't have stopped me. But I feel like it's a good thing to do if possible, the parents really appreciated it and it's a good way to start things off. You will have to be seeing these people for the rest of your life.
