Alternate ceremony language regarding bride being 'given away'

Our officiant just sent me a sample ceremony and I am really happy with it except that his sample began with him saying 'Who gives this woman to this man?' 

Not to get all feminist or anything but I'm not completely comfortable with that language.  Does anyone have suggestions for an alternative that acknowledges the relationship of me and my father but doesn't make it sound like I'm a thing that can be given to someone.
