Think "holding up" as an alternative to "giving away" the bride
Think "holding up" as an alternative to "giving away" the bride

Casey and Adam had a perfectly adorable school-themed wedding, but one SUPER TEENY TINY detail stood out to me. Well, Casey pointed it out herself:
It was also nice to have a moment with my dad before the ceremony. It wasn't like my dad was giving me away, but holding me up. -Casey
Isn't that a beautiful alternative to giving away the bride?
For those who'd like to include the traditional walk down the aisle with a deeply loved parental figure but choke a bit on the whole concept of "giving away," maybe all that's required is some alternative thinking. This person has supported you and loved you, whomever they may be - how lovely to let them "hold you up" as you walk toward your partner.
Let's talk - what loved one has been your support? Would you rather walk to meet your partner alone or would you like some support?
