A common issue brides have with weddings has to do with who “GIVES” them away. “No one gives me away, I give myself!”
I always assure the bride when I first meet her that no one will be giving her away. I ask “Who is presenting you?”
A nicer, better, and more meaningful question at the beginning of a wedding as the special person (father, mother, both, uncle, brother, etc) walks with the bride, stands with her in front of all the family and friends and is asked, “Who has the honor of presenting this bride?”
No giving, no uncomfortable situation. Just a special day and a special question.
