Zone1 Marriages in church, which of these two forms are you more familiar with?

[Zebra]

These are the two forms …

Bride and Bridegroom walk to the altar together

The bridgegroom waits near the altar, and the Bride is led to the altar by her father or somebody else

 

[Zebra]

I am more familiar with the first form

 

[Zebra]

The second form I know more from Hollywood films

 

[Zebra]

Why cant it be thus:

The Bride waits near the altar, when the Bridegroom is led to her by his mother

 

[Zebra]

In Catholic churches in Germany it used to be the first form.

but I think Hollywood has changed that

The second form.

There is a common sentimental attachment to the image the father, giving his daughter away.

Feminists hate it.

Besides, the bride, when she walks down the aisle, is the star of the show. It's her big day.

I've often wondered if the groom doesn't feel overshadowed somewhat.

So it used to be.
Until people watched Hollywood films, or British Royal weddings

He’s too busy trying to unlock the chain on his ankle.

I think I've seen both with equal frequency, really. I think the latter is more common in Catholicism. Personally I prefer the former, but not because of any religious preference.
