What is the proper statement when the father gives the bride away in marriage ceremony
Please identify who is the 'he' you are referring to. Traditionally the bride's father 'gives away' the bride. Sometimes if the bride's father is unavailable, another male family member/friend of the family will fulfill this role. A new trend is for both parents to 'give away' the bride.
The Bride and her Father march to the altar. The Groom meets them, and all three will face the Priest/Minister. The question of who gives the bride away is asked, to which the bride's Father answers, "I do" . He then gives her daughter's hand to the groom, after which he takes his designated seat in the front row with his wife.
There is no particular name for an 'acting father of the bride.' It's a traditional Western custom that the father of the bride entrusts and gives his daughter's hand in marriage to the man she loves. If the father is not in the picture or is deceased then an uncle; grandfather; adult brother or close male family friend can give the bride away.
It is generally the father of the bride (single or widowed) that would give her away to the groom. If her father has passed away then her brother; an uncle or even am adult son can give her away.
The bride can do anything she wants as it is her special day and it is fine to have her father on the left and her brother on the right as they walk down the aisle. If you decide to do this then after the minister asks who gives this bride away the father will answer and he will turn to the left to be seated on the bride's side of the church and your brother should walk behind you after this and join your father.
No, "giving the bride away" is a pagan custom, I believe it was adopted in protestant ceremonies, but it has no place in a Catholic wedding ceremony.The concept of "giving the bride away" is a throwback to the mediaeval idea that an unmarried woman is the property of her father and that the a married woman is the property of her husband. A bride may well be accompanied into the wedding service by her father, but after that, he plays no further part in the ceremony.In the ceremony in the Anglican Book of Common Prayer, the question is asked "Who gives this woman to be married to this man?" and the bride's father or another man answers "I do". This has not formed part of the Catholic ceremony since the Council of Trent in the 16th century.
The groom and his best man and ushers are waiting at the front (to the right) waiting for his bride to come down the aisle. If there is a ring bearer or flower girl they would come down first; then the bridesmaids; then the maid of honor and finally the bride holding her fathers arm. Once at the altar the Minister will ask the father who gives this bride away and the father will answer 'I do.' Then the father sits on the first pew to the left with his wife and the bride and groom face each other. When they are to take their vows the bride gives her maid of honor her bouquet during the ring ceremony.
The groom has a best man, but only the bride is given away.
A Jehovah Witness Wedding is the same in most respects to say a catholic wedding. The only true difference is that the ceremony is not held in a church (never) and their is never a priest but a speaker, from the couples Kingdom Hall. So to answer your question the brides father typical gives away the bride unless the mother does it.
haha... the same thing as usual. The father.
only if your father is dead and you dont have a step father or your parents were divorced and you dont communicate with your father anymore.
