Lately I have been thinking about the traditional wedding processional, which includes the bride escorted down the aisle by her father who “gives her away”. I got to thinking that maybe that’s not the only way to do it, especially since nowadays brides are being given away by their mothers and all sorts of other relatives (even pets).

What about brides who don’t feel like they are necessarily a possession to be given back and forth in the first place? I say, why not walk down the aisle with your husband to be? I have seen it done in a few weddings and I think it’s marvelous.

What do you think? Have you seen any other interesting processionals?
