Who would you choose to escort you down the aisle?
Traditionally, brides walk down the aisle accompanied by their fathers, who so to say ‘give them away’. However, there are many reasons why this may not be possible, for example if the bride’s father has passed away or if they cannot attend the wedding or no longer in speaking terms. Also, it is a personal choice and some brides may prefer to be accompanied down the aisle by their pets for example, just like Ayda Field when she married Robbie Williams. Brides, who are ‘given away’ by their mothers or other close family members is also quite common nowadays. I have a friend who chose her future father-in-law to give her away as her father and uncle could not attend the wedding. The father-in-law was very happy as the bride-to-be was already part of the family, but said: ‘I’m ‘giving you away’ and you are joining our family.’ There are brides who wish to walk down the aisle by themselves to music as that is how they always pictured themselves.
