Giving Away the Bride
08/21/2015

 

I attended a wedding where the bride's father had unexpectedly died weeks before the wedding. The bride could not find it in her heart to replace her dad with the task of giving her away. During a family meeting, the groom, assured the bride that he would take care of the concern. He urged her to trust him, then asked her to walk in the church and wait in the back. Family encouraged the bride that her father would not wish for her to postpone a wedding that was already paid for.

The day of the wedding, the men all in dress whites, walked in to the church. As the music began, bridesmaids in a lovely shade of blue entered the room. The Bride finally entered the back of the church, the sanctuary doors closed behind her and everyone patiently waited. That handsome bridegroom softly marched to the back and escorted his bride like a prince. There was not a dry eye in the house. We all witnessed a man's first step in being there for his wife. The event was charming, and precious!

I love and respect your work, 

Dan
