My father passed away 7 years ago and my cousin, who is really like a brother to me as well as my best friend, will be walking me down the aisle. While I have no aversion to the traditional "Giving Away of the Bride", I was thinking of rephrasing it to emphasize the fact that while I will now be my husband's wife, my cousin will always remain important to me as well. Has anyone ever heard of someone rephrasing this way, or should I just skip it altogether?
