I don't think it necessarily ALWAYS looks like that OR that it ALWAYS goes in that order. I mean... I've never been engaged, but I don't know that I would ever record a voicemail with somebody before I was married... AND... I don't think I want to have to say "I think it would be sweet for the guy to ask the father" - I'm kind of hoping the guy would already know to do things like that....
