How do I ask my gf's dads permission?

I need to ask my gf's dad permission because I want to marry her... but how do I do it? Do I take him out for a beer, call him or what? He's pretty serious so it's a little daunting. We've been dating three years and her family loves me. Her mum is nice should I do it with her there too?

I'm paying for everything, do I still get my bridesmaids a present?

I got my bridesmaids a proposal box with wine, chocolates, personalized glass water bottle and flowers when I asked them. I am also paying for everything (dresses, shoes, hair, makeup, getting ready robes, personalized coat hanger, jewellery, champagne, champagne flutes etc). The only thing I've really asked them to do as their bridesmaid duties was to come wedding dress shopping and will need their help setting up the venue the day before. Should I still get a separate gift or do you think everything else would suffice? Thanks :) I don't want to be stingy.

how long is it okay to leave guests while having photos?

Hi. I'm getting married on my future in laws property. And I was wondering how long is okay to leave guests while we go away to take photos? It's possibly an hour round trip just to get to and from a location to have photos done.
