[quote=Anonymous]I had both my parents escort me down the aisle. I've seen it a lot, particularly in Jewish ceremonies (where the groom comes down too with his folks) and in some Italian and Greek weddings I've been to. My folks are divorced even but its how I have always seen it done in my extended family so I always liked it. I, like most everyone I know, was on my own for a long time before marriage- so I think the connotation for many people has shifted from "being given away" to "being escorted by loved ones", at least I think that's the direction its moving in and will be nice if the next 1-2 generations see it that way. I often have seen the mother walk down the aisle too as the escort so I hope its shifting.

I am also kind of with the poster that says there is a balance between the wedding being "about" the bride and groom and also a big day for the family in general. Its why I always make sure to congratulate the parents of the bride and groom, its a proud day for them.[/quote]
