In the Bride's dance, she is led onto the floor by her Father, or whomever gave her away . After about a minute, she is passed to her groom , the new # 1 man in her life. This is the remains of an old custom when women did not work and derived their support and social identity from their Father as single girls or women , and Father was their sole support and protector, and the new husband now assumes that role. This custom is now retained in the US as a mostly sentimental gesture, but rather sweet nonetheless.
