So… now the wedding ceremony can be conducted in a way which the bride takes the bridegroom from his mother?

Question

-instead of the other way around? or is it still under the equality process?

Answer 1

As I see it, you its only the bride and groom business whatever ceremony they want to have.

Answer 2

if you do a non-denominational ceremony, I believe most places will work with you. I imagine that otherwise you'll have to work with the church to get that answer...

Answer 3

Sure. Why not? Doing things according to tradition is perfectly fine, but not necessary. If it makes more sense to you to do things in an unusual way, then by all means do it that way.

Answer 4

Of course it can, it could always be conducted that way.

All that is required for a legal marriage contract is an affirmation of consent performed by an officiant authorized by the state and the couple's signatures on the marriage license, along with witnesses.

Your ceremony and your life, you can do whatever the **** you want. I don't see how it's the business of anyone else, and if they don't like it then they don't have to attend.

Answer 5

That's cool. Especially if the father is deceased or the bride doesn't have a relationship with her father.

Answer 6

Weddings are a celebration of two people as a couple.  How they choose to celebrate that union is really up to them.  They can have a JP perform the ceremony, walk up the isle on their own, elope and go through the drive through in Vegas, whatever.

There really are no set rules for how weddings are "supposed" to be anymore.  Haven't been for a very long time.  I'm doubtful that this "new" practice will ever be widespread, but if that's how the couple wants to do it, then that's how they want to do it.

Answer 7

I kind of like the idea of the parents of both giving the bride and groom to each other.  I think that would be more symbolic of two families joining together as well as forming a new family.

Answer 8

Who cares.

Answer 9

The father giving the bride away ritual is antiquated. Most weddings I've been to lately either do away with it completely or have both parents walk down the isle with their respective children.

Answer 10

Are you going to ask you husband to take your last name to?? Do you want a man or a battered son of a feminist??

Answer 11

You can have your wedding ceremony exactly how you want, as long as you say the law binding words it's legal.

We personally designed our own ceremony, wrote our own vows etc and my father stood my side, his uncle his side and they presented the rings to us. It was very romantic, like both sides of the family were giving teir blessing and partaking.

We also both cahgned our names, we complteytly merged our names.

Answer 12

How about no one give anyone away...

thats how I did it.

it was my fathers idea....

ya know when my husband asked my dad from my hand.

My father said.  "No. I dont own her, you have to talk to her about that." ....he did later give him his blessing, just not me.

Women arnt property!   and switching it up so that men are isnt right either.

Answer 13

Apparently men are not required for the wedding ceremony nor the upbringing of a child.
