Did you ask her if this was something she wanted, bro?
Are you asking me?

If so, no, why would I ask her? I went straight to her dad and negotiated a dowry that was suitable for both of us. Once her dad threw in a few pigs and a couple dozen chickens, my soon-to-be-wife had no choice.
A simple yes or no would have sufficed.

She said no?
If a Giant's pronouns are "fee, fi, fi, and fum", does that mean short people's pronouns are "oompa, loompa, and doopity-doo"?

No, your name isn't "drumdude", but if you were ..

Thinking back, dude, why are you asking us? Like, why aren't you asking her first.

Also, if she's on board, who gives any crap for what her daddy says. Yeah, his blessing is nice, but it isn't even remotely necessary.

You love her? Cool. She loves you? You're about to find out if you got true love or if you dodged an autocannon.

See, either she's down, in which case all aboard...

Or she ain't and you should ditch that trick post haste.

You should be all the "daddy" she needs. If not, ditch her now, because she's got more issue than Marvel Comics.

Drugs are bad, mmm'kay?
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

The god idea is popular with desperate people.
