Love / Asking a Polish man to marry me... [10]

Hi there!

I am a Canadian woman in a relationship with a Polish man. I am planning on asking him to marry me and I'm wondering what the custom is surrounding engagement. Where I'm from it is customary to ask the parents for permission. Is that common in Poland? His parents live in Poland and we live in Canada.

Also what is a customary Polish wedding ring for a man?

Thank you for your help!

Thanks for the help! Yes I've brought it up in a round about way. He may beat me to the punch of asking me first but I want to be prepared anyway.

Ok so no asking his parents (we've never met).

What about a man's engagement ring in Poland? Is there any type of traditional I should keep in mind? I do think we will have a wedding in Poland and probably one in Canada as well so I want to make sure that his ring is appropriate.

Thanks for the information. Atch I find in Canada that no men wear engagement rings but I just thought it would be strange to propose marriage without one? I like the idea of exchanging gifts. In front of parents is hard to do because of the distance but a way could be figured out.

I don't want this to be a "marry me, now buy a ring" situation and I think it would be strange to purchase myself an engagement ring.
