Proposed, she said yes, easy part over.

Now the bone shattering difficult part -- I have to now ask her father for permission. Should've done it first but a) he scares the shit out of me and b) wasn't sure when my next chance to propose the way I did was going to be.

Imagine a Japanese man with traditional values that understands that his daughters career comes first and I have to be a billionaire to be an acceptable candidate.

Shitting myself.

Congrats dude, that's awesome.

Maybe start with 'my computer graphic design work is going well'...

Boss told me yesterday that he used to work for Saatchi International.

Made me feel pretty awesome that I was good enough to work for someone who use to work for the best.

Blew me away and I plan to suck as much info out of him while I'm here as I can.

Rii, learn how to ask for his daughters hand in marriage in Japanese.


Shows that you're serious, and if you nail it, he will say yes.

Fuck it up, he will slice your head off with his samurai sword.

Not funny :\

He threatened to do that exact thing to an ex-bf. Although the ex was bottom feeding scum.

Threatened to take him into a field and 'slay' him with his traditional Katana.

Put the shits up me.

But you have a good idea though, asking him in Japanese could work in my favour, will have to avoid the cheese factor.

You should dress up as a care bear and give him a big bear hug!

Who you working for that was tied up with Saatchis, I used to know a few of em when they were down in Chch. It's not a Matt by any chance?

Grats on the missus, is he a traditionalist the old fella? Why not do it differn't and ask him to be your father in law ;)

After being very social lately - something I do not enjoy in large doses - it is refreshing and nice to just kick it.

Loving having the Old man's house to myself - bachelor pad to the days. And I've been lent the ute. I got spa pool, 56" TV ( + insane sounds), pool table, a hill view and a large section of forest behind me to get buzzed out in.

And his liquor cabinet and beer-fridge.

It's just fucking nice to be free and on holiday, in Wellington (favourite city by far, not for weather but for people).

Nah, no Matt here. If you're keen I'll catch you on MSN one day and feed you a bit more info.

Hah, I wonder how that would go down. He's a good guy, and we get along. I just understand that when it comes to it, he wont pander about when it comes to his daughters future.

Nice one Rii... just mention the fact that you asked his daughter first because she's the most important person in the world to you.
Even if you only learn a small amount of Japanese, a specific phrase or two, I reckon it shows you're taking it very seriously.

bol with everything!!

I reckon just explain to him how much his daughter means to you. As a father all he will want is his daughter to marry someone who worships her and can support her
