Marriage proposal
Hi everyone,
im new to the group so forgive me if this post is in the wrong section.
i want to propose to my partner next month. Her father is Hungarian and I would like to ask him for her hand in marriage. My question is this:
is there a Hungarian tradition differs from British tradition when asking for a hand in marriage or something traditional such as offering a gift when asking for example?
Your help is much appreciated
thanks in advance
Daryl

Have you already proposed to your partner? Are you intending to ask the parents first?
Good luck Daryl.

Re: Marriage proposal
Is there a simplified way to get married in Hungary i.e is there someone who you can pay to do all the paperwork (subject to our info supplied) and arrange a simple ceremony, I wonder.

Re: Marriage proposal
If so these people, Helpers Hungary could almost certainly fix you up, even if your much further out I am sure they could sort out the paperwork.

Re: Marriage proposal
Translation etc would be expensive and the whole Hungarian marriage process for an English speaker/partner is more complex than marrying in the uk.

Re: Marriage proposal
I'm not aware of any tradition but I did propose to my wife first and then asked both her parents for her hand in marriage. As my Hungarian is pretty bad my wife had to translate for me! They did ask me a few questions and had serious looks on their faces. We have now been married for 11 years! :-) I did not give a gift and we all had a couple of shots of home made palinka afterwards. It might be a good idea to buy a good bottle of palinka, put it on the table with enough glasses for all to toast your proposal.

Good luck Daryl.

I plan to ask her her next Month and yes I am going to ask her parents. I know it will go a very long way. Palinka is a good idea although not drinkers I’m sure they will appreciate the sentiment.
Lets hope she says yes 😂

PS: You can buy a couple of bottles of Törley or Hungária for less than 6000Ft.

My now son-in-law (Hungarian) proposed to my daughter and then came to ask us.
My son and now daughter-in-law came to us and said 'we are pregnant and we will get married after the baby has been born' (they had been a couple for 8 years at that time)
