Depends. There may not be a father. Etc.

Never mind Meghan, Harry's father won't be there either.

Don't know but I do know Google ads are very good at attaching relevant products to threads...

If the bride wants him too, and he's still around.

My Dad gave me away, but also my cousin, as her father had long gone.
When Princess Margaret got married, Prince Philip gave her away as the old King had died.
Queen Victoria gave away two of her daughters after Prince Albert died.

I also know of a girl who walked down the aisle with her mother and father.

When I remarried (nearly 25 years ago now) my son gave me away.

What I found the most strange is that Harry hasn't even met him yet?

Is it still not good manners to ask the father of the bride for his daughter's hand in marriage? Or am I just old fashioned.....

What utter bullshit!

It says that the daughter is the PROPERTY of the father who passes OWNERSHIP on to another man. FFS can't we move on from this Bronze age religious anti female shit.

Not always maybe.

I know many a fella who has been to chat to his future father in law to go through the motions, just to show a bit of good faith.
Obviously they would always have married the lady regardless, and just as obvious is that the brides dad was never going to disagree, but would see it as a nice / respectful moment.

Chill babes

Nice tradition but not so nice if you look in to the small print of the ceremony. The Dad, gives his rights of ownership away to some other bloke..... You don't give sons away.

My partner and I have been considering this and how it applies to our wedding when it happens - I'm considering flipping things around and having my Mum walk me down the aisle.

Mothers don't often give their children away. In fact mothers tend to continue to stick their nose in many an unwanted scenario long after their children have been married off hence the interchangeable term of mother-in-law with monster-in-law

A wedding that I went to once, when the vicar said who is giving away the bride, the father said, that's me, but i'm not giving her away, i'm sharing her.

Probably accurate in the case of my future MiL, but that's another matter.

I have two younger brothers and no sisters, and we're all closer to our Mum than our Dad anyway - it feels like a nice opportunity to get her more closely involved in the day, however unusual it might be.
