The Presentation of the Bride (and or Groom!) During Your Wedding Ceremony
Who gives this woman to be married? Who presents this woman to be married? May I have your blessing on thi marriage? In the past wedding season I have had less brides "presented or given in marriage" and more couples asking for the blessing from their parents. Many couples are finding it nice to include their parents, and even their guests in this. It shows more equality for the bride and groom and it gives the grooms parents a role equal to the brides parents. But don't worry, if you have always dreamed of your father walking you down the aisle and giving you away I am more than happy to accommodate! It's tradition!! (You can also do both!)
It's a Jewish custom for both parents to walk the bride and the groom down the aisle. You don't have to be Jewish to do that. LGBTQ are always welcome at Marry Me In Indy! so i f you are a groom and you want your parents to give your away - no worries! There is tradition, but there is also really no right or wrong. I want you to get married your way.

Presentation of the Bride 1
It's a classic!
Who gives this woman to be married?
Father: "Her mother and I do." Or, "I do." Or, "We do."
This can be changed to suit the situation. It's all good! It might be your mother, father, stepfather and stepmother, foster parents... it takes a village.

The marriage of Bride and Groom is more than just the union of two people in love. It’s also the joining of two families, of two sets of friends and of two patterns of life.
