Got engaged Friday. On Saturday, my future in-laws got upset because we didn’t have a date picked. PGP.

Godspeed brother. Plan on getting on one knee when we’re home during Christmas.
You’re the worst
But, but why?
Because it’s cheesy and about as cliche as proposing on Valentine’s Day or with a Jumbotron at a ball game, that’s why.
SO many questions.
1. Do I ask her dad with her at dinner, or one on one?
2. Do I have to ask her mom too? (They’re divorced)
3. Do I need to show him the ring?
4. How do I bring that up?
5. Will I crap my pants?
6. What do I do when I crap my pants while asking this man for his daughter’s hand in marriage?
Answer: be a man.
I was close enough with her family that I just went to her parents’ house one night and asked. Of course they weren’t there, so I just hung out with her brothers til they got home. I asked as soon as they walked in.
The ring had not come in at this point (bought from an independent jeweler, not a store. Much better quality and price), but I had a picture of what it looked like and showed them.
I would ask both. Don’t want to regret that later and/or make her mom feel not as important.
You won’t crap your pants. Maybe a little shart, but not full on crap.
TL;DR – see Centrum’s response.
