I would be extremely put off if someone I was going to marry asked my parents for my hand in marriage. Like, I would consider it an indication that it would not be a good match after all.
This times 10000. I am also 10000% sure that if asked, my father would act faux confused and say, "shouldn't you be asking *her*?"

it never even occurred to me to ask. and he didn't come to the wedding because we didn't invite his insane wife (we'd seen her act at a sibling's wedding)
