is it poor form to not ask the father of the bride his permission to propose to his daughter?
would it be even poorer form to do this via email? living in a different country and all.....

My future son in law came and asked me, it was really nice , i felt tremendous respect for the guy , worth doing if you ask me.
Email? :^0
Atleast give him the courtesey of a phone call.
He'd probably delete the email thinking one of those ' prank' ones.

You want to try returning any goods to those feckers that you are not happy with. Their returns policy is quite frankly a shambles.
i think it depends on the father in law, if it's a gesture you think he would appreciate then yeah, i asked my girlfriend to marry me on xmas morning, and did not say it to anyone before hand, but my future father in law was just delighted for us, no mention of the fact i didn't ask him first
funnily enough, Shambles is the name of my filipionbride.com bride....
I asked permission first. Proposed last october. For next 6 hrs before I actually proposed, my nerves were jangling, as I realised that now I couldn't change my mind. It was more nerve racking than asking my gf!
if I live in the same country, ie back home in the UK, i would aak him no prob. out for a pint and ask him. but it would cost me well over a grand to fly back to ask. and as much of a great gesture as it would be, i aint splashing that kind of cash on it

Just don't propose. You father in law will hate you when you eventually divorce her any how. Leave it alone, go to the pub.

Don't you get some protection if you use visa?

is an email better than not asking, or is not asking better than an email?
It has to be a Hand written letter explaining that because of the different countries , and the fact he struggles to hear on the phone you had to take the BEST option you thought available to you and out of courtesy was asking him for the hand of his daughter as you valued old fashioned courtesies and standards ...
I don't think you can go far wrong that way ...always bext face to face ...or by mouth , but this is your only " best" option seemingly available to you ...you'd better mention how you want him to communicate his answer to you .. ..GOOD LUCK for the future ..

Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?' The girl
said, 'NO!' And the guy lived happily ever after and rode
motorcycles and went fishing,racing and played golf a lot and
drank beer and scotch, saw his mates whenever he liked, gambled, and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.
The end

I love a happy ending. The woman complained for the rest of her life about men not being able to commit, instead of spending the rest of her life complaining to him.
