hey girls - i'm drawing a blank!
we're working on our order of service - and when the pastor asks "who gives this woman" - i want it to be more than just that. i went to a wedding a long time ago, where he read scripture and talked about parents being such a big part of our lves - but i cannot remember for the life of me what he said - and i've looked on the interent for something, and i can't find anything!
do you girls have any suggestions?

this is what i have found...no verses tho:

Tip: Here are some perfect words that the officiant could say to make the giving of the bride more beautiful: "_____ and _____, we rejoice with you today in the presence of your family members. They are a very special part of this occasion. Your parents in particular take great joy in both of you, as they have watched you grow and mature and finally arrive at this special moment in your lives. They have loved you, shared anxious moments with you and over you, prayed for you, dreamed for you, and affirmed you. The act of giving away the bride is symbolic of the fact that a most significant person in the bride's life blesses the marriage to the chosen groom. So, because this person has played such an important and vital role in your lives, I ask, Who gives this woman to be married to this man?"
