In general, at least on WW, having an escort is automatically equated with “giving away” of the bride even when no such verbiage is used in the ceremony. More often than not, brides who choose to walk down the aisle alone because they specifically don’t agree with “being given away” don’t anticipate or realize until the moment arrives that the nerves hit them like a truck. The bride will freeze in place one step in and a random guest rushes in to escort her the rest of the way. But again, that guest is not giving her away in any fashion, nor does any officiant ask outside of the movies.
Just curious what the reason is for the automatic connection between the two when there isn’t one for many people.
