I need awnswers

Idk why but ive been planning my wedding alot in my head lately just waiting on him to pop the question and today his younger brother poped the question to his fiance, i couldnt help but say must be nice my bf over hurd and said i cant propose because i have met your father for permission... Now I barely talk to my dad he was in my life but 3 years ago moved to Alabama he's always been in and out of my life, throughout our whole relationship I barely talked about my dad, what yall think..making up bs cause hes not ready or is it really important to ask even though me and my dad barely talk?
