I Would Expect Nothing Else
This is how the announcement to my father went:
-----
Me : Mr.Tango asked me to marry him!
Dad : Why did he do that? Did he climb up a really tall ladder and then fall off and land on his head?
-----
Of course, they were nice and pretended like they didn't already know so I could do my announcing and squee'ing and talktalktalking. And it took him all of 3 minutes to ask if we'd discussed children because he's READY FOR MORE GRANDKIDS NOW.
Uhm. Gonna have to wait a bit on that one, Dad. Heh.
Of course, I guess my dad's initial response was better thought out than my brother's. All he said when I told him, and all he's said since is, "huh." A man of many words, he is.

When Gabe "asked my father for my hand in marriage" or whatever you call it, my Dad said - and I quote:
"I don't care. She's your problem now."
Our Dads should hang out.
Huh.
Well....that is a glowing endorsement....:)

My husband forgot to ask my dad, which was bad news. Luckily, we got engaged on New Year's Eve, so my dad was pretty drunk when I told him. It wasn't until the next day, when he was all hungover, that he got all angry dad on him!

I love it! "Huh" is a very universal word and comes in very handy sometimes. Kind of like the "need a moment?" deal in the Twix commercial.
My MIL called me a "jackass" when my wife told her she was going to marry me - so your dad's response isn't too bad in my book.

My brother gives the exact same responses to pretty much everything! "huh", sometimes he just grunts. That is just funny. Glad to know someone else has a brother like that too!

Congrats! You should have seen my Dad's face when I announced the same thing, but to someone of the same sex. My sibling went Huh too ... hehe
