[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Giving the bride away harks back to when women were chattel. It It a sexist tradition and should be done away with. FYI, most states no longer recognize common law marriages.[/quote] It is a sexist tradition, but I wouldn't have denied my dad the chance to walk me down the aisle in a million years. He was so proud and happy and it was so sweet. He and I knew he wasn't "giving me away," just escorting me through the church. It was really meaningful for both of us, and I know it means a lot to others. If you have a cold, distant, abusive, or otherwise negative relationship with your father, then yeah, doing it for the sake of tradition is kind of silly, but it's also possible for people to repurpose traditions.
