[quote=Anonymous]We had a fairly traditional wedding but I had similar problems with the giving away part and wanted to keep things traditional but modernized into a symbolism I was comfortable with. My solution to the aisle walk was to have my Dad walk me to his seat (that mattered to him) and I then kissed him and he sat with my Mom and I walked myself the final distance to the alter. I also wasn't at all comfortable with the 'who gives this woman' bit. My solution there was to involve all 4 parents: the minister said "who gives this couple one to another" and they all responded "we do". Since we married relatively young (mid 20s) it to me symbolized their blessing on givng up a primary claim on us in order for us to create that primary bond as a new family, and thus was something I was comfortable with. Now that I have kids of my own I appreciate the symbolism of that even more.[/quote]
