It’s possibly the most nerve wracking moment in your life – when you approach your potential father-in-law for his blessing to marry his daughter. Our listeners told us about their experiences and your stories never disappoint:

He promised to never get married again

Traditionalists will tell you that a relationship progresses from meeting to dating to engaged to married. But sometimes a traditional experience makes you approach the rest of your life differently. Richard called in and told us about how a divorce changed his perspective on how he approached his next relationship:

“I gave her a ring and said ‘with this ring I promise to NEVER thee wed’.”

That’s quite a quote to remember if you aren’t traditional when it comes to marriage isn’t it?
