Nevermind seating charts and meat or fish. Brides, the one area of your wedding scheme where you could likely damage your relationship with others, among the most important in your life perhaps, is who you ask to walk you down the aisle. Here comes the … incredibly touchy subject for some. As you know, America is a land of untraditional families and circumstances. Single moms who worked two jobs to help make ends meet. Stepdads who watched you take your first steps. Divorces galore. Strained relationships. Uncles who never missed a dance recital. Siblings who cooked your dinner every night. Take your pick. We know, we know. As a nation of independent women who are getting married later in life, and not exactly three months after prom as was done in yesteryears, the thought of being “given away” to your groom, who you might have been living with for three years, is a little outdated and silly. But just like the veils that were originally intended to mask the bride from the groom in the arranged marriages of the Middle Ages, this traditional may never go away no matter how much money you put towards your own wedding or whether you and the people who raised you live in different time zones. So tread carefully. You don’t want to trip in this issue and have regrets. Make someone’s day. You, and only you, know who to choose.
