You don't "let" anyone marry your kids. They decide who they want to marry, not you.

Ugh.

Am I the only one who feels this way? I can't possibly be the only person who doesn't hate this song or think the narrator is an asshole. Then again apparently people assumed he was asking the guy for his permission literally and not to make him happy (it was heavily implied to me that the two were going to get married either way and, yes, that she also wanted to marry him).

Then again I do tend to give people the benefit of the doubt...

I don't think the narrator is an asshole because of the lyrics of the song. I think he's an asshole because it's a crappy song and I don't like it and his voice is really annoying.

It's an irrational opinion, but one that I stand by.

Some families are more close knit and it is important that they know the person their son/daughter is getting married to is a good person who will treat them right.

What if it's an abusive relationship or one of them is just using the other for money? The people involved might not realize it but their family might.

My sister had this one boyfriend who was unemployed and he was just using her for a place to stay and for her car. He was literally just free loading in our house for several months. Of course she didn't have a problem with it, but everyone else did. In that case I'd say the parents have the right to say he's no good for you.

If they are both responsible people who can take care of each other then it is their choice, but there are some warning signs that people don't realize when they think they are in love, even though they will definitely regret it later.

Well you always have the right to say something like that but you do not have the right to tell your child who they can and can't marry. Though in this instance it sounds like they should have just kicked him out of their house which they definitely have a right to do.

but there are some warning signs that people don't realize when they think they are in love, even though they will definitely regret it later.

This is true but the idea that you have to save someone from themselves pisses me off...especially when it's a father/daughter situation, because those have a history of being extra paternalistic, condescending and possessive.
