Wedding Ceremony Giving Away the Bride
One of the traditions still being used in the wedding ceremony which has no legal consequences, is the Giving Away the Bride. While in the past it was always a father, or a significant male relative, in the contemporary wedding ceremony a mother of the bride, or the bride's adult children might also involve themselves in this part of the wedding ceremony. In some cases the giving away the bride takes place immediately the bride and the bride's father arrives at the place where the ceremony is to take place. More often, this part of the ceremony takes place after the celebrant has welcomed the guests and introduced the wedding couple. While giving away the bride has been a long-standing tradition in the wedding ceremony, in a contemporary ceremony it is seen more as a vow of support. Consequently, the ceremony can include both the bride and the groom, involving both sets of parents. To show how parents of the bride and groom are very much a part of the bride and groom's lives, the parents can actually be part of the wedding processional with the groom being escorted by his parents, and the bride being escorted by hers. One of the ways in which the wedding ceremony can be personalised, and at the same time get involvement from the guests, is by including a vow of support for the bride and groom from everyone present. The vow will be meaningful if the bride and groom think seriously about their own wedding vows, and how the guests can help them to keep them.
