I hadn't planned on being given away, and had honestly not even planned for my father to walk me down the aisle. I figured I'm too old for that, it's archaic, and he and I have a weird relationship anyway. But, if he's springing for a tux I thought maybe he could walk me down the aisle if he doesn't 'give' me away.
I need suggestions for language other than "who gives this bride away." Or does anything even need to be said? Can he just escort me to the groom and go sit down?
