Oh dear.......

So uncalled for.

No one said you did! Just a useless piece of information! Cage definitely not rattled! I actually think it's sad you feel that way.

Well of course it's down to how you feel.

Cage rattled? :-0

I don't see where I may have suggested that marriages by the traditional route wouldn't survive. Oh... I didn't. :-D

I suppose it just depends on how you feel. I loved my traditional wedding as did our daughter. I know my father was really proud and pleased as punch to be giving away his much loved daughter as was my OH 27years later. No one on either occasion thought in terms of domination or subjugation, they were both just a wonderful happy day with much loved family and friends, no acting required! We're still together 56 years later!!!! Daughter seems to be surviving too!

Tradition and a large pot of cash these days Ann :-0 :-D

I've never been that good an actor to go along with the male domination and female subserviance required of a wedding show.

I think it is just traditional really isn’t it?part of the pageantry. The original wedding service doesn’t seem to matter to many. Strangely when our daughter, a widow married her now husband a widower she had my oh walk her down the aisle of the ‘chapel room’ in a hotel. I think she didn’t want to walk in on her own.

To be honest, I think it's time this 'giving away by father' was left in the past. It's all so hypocritical these days.

..even more loo rolls now, Florence - that photo was taken in March.

I was bemoaning the fact that I can't get my favourite ones locally, neither can I get the cat food in gravy that I prefer for my elderly cats.
Daughter came around last Wednesday (the cats 14th Birthday), with 36 cans of cat food and 3 x 24 packs of loo roll :-D :-D :-S :-S

If it were me, I would postpone until next year so i could have the wedding i wanted with all the guests I wanted.

Some of these rules are just plain rediculous!

You can get married but.... only 30 guests, no singing just the ceremony, no dad to walk beside you?/?

I really dont get it.

Well I would have thought, if they were part of each others 'bubble', or even lived together, it would be okay!

Weddings now can go ahead but why can’t the father walk his daughter down the aisle any idea? Surely they could walk together without touching.
