In response to "actually few weddings have the bride 'given' away, usually if requested I'll ask who 'presents' the bride, other officiants ask who blesses the wed..." by zeitgeist

(you're not really expecting zeitgeist's wedding stats to be representative of anything, are you?) - TFox Apr 26, 11:27 3
- true, I have done weddings at Denny's, and most of my clients are non church (though strangely enough I have done about a dozen IN churches) -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 26, 11:36
- I agree with him. I don't think I've ever been to a wedding where the father gives away the bride. - loosilu Apr 26, 11:27 1
  - Of course you do. -- nm - Jim Apr 26, 11:37
He talking about the words used by the officiant, though. -- nm - mara Apr 26, 11:22 15
- It thought it was all "Who giveth this woman." "She and I do." They kept it, but just added that the bride gives herself, too. -- nm - Amy Apr 26, 11:24 14
  - Yeah...I still hear it in pretty much every wedding I attend. "Who giveth this woman?" "Her mother and I" is pretty common. -- nm - Jim Apr 26, 11:25 13
    - I am so excited to ahve four weddings to go to this summer. helllo, cake! (hellllo, groomsmen!) -- nm - amanda jones Apr 26, 11:26 5
      - i am actively telling people i'm annoyed i don't have any. i keep seeing perfect dresses and have no reason to justify buying them. -- nm - Andie Apr 26, 11:27 4
        
        if you lived closer, I would take you as my date to tyler's wedding. he -- nm - amanda jones Apr 26, 11:40
        
        we just got an invite in the mail for August in Colorado. That's doable, right? -- nm - CQ Apr 26, 11:31 2
        
        are you asking me to a wedding? and you, a married man! scandalous! - Andie Apr 26, 11:31 1
        
        yeah, that didn't sound too good, heh -- nm - CQ Apr 26, 11:33
    - zeitgeist is clearly an exceptional officiant and largely involved in exceptional ceremonies, i guess. :-) -- nm - mara Apr 26, 11:26 6
      - Jim is agreeing with Z. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 11:29 4
        
        He's agreeing with Amy. And this is a very silly subthread. -- nm - mara Apr 26, 11:30

        ah, go ahead and do your Loosi is Wrong dance. I misread Z's post. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 11:30
      - Word. -- nm - Jim Apr 26, 11:27
