Alternative to 'Who Gives this Woman in Marriage'?

[IrieBride08]

I had my father repeat a saying I heard Sally Field say in response to the "Who gives this woman" question on the tv show, "Brothers & Sisters".

 

He said, "She gives herself freely, with my love and my blessing."

 

I think this could be tailored to fit a brother or mother or anyone else who chooses to respond on behalf of the bride!

Iriebride,

 

I love it! What a great compromise. I was glad to see this post because it applies to me as well, and I think everyone will be happy with that answer.

 

Thanks for sharing.
