I know that the wedding is supposed to be the bride and grrom's day, but I can't help but notice a few things. Why is it just the father of the bride giving her away, why doesn't the mother give her away as well and why don't the groom's parents give him away? And in the speeches, why is it just the bride's father (again no bride's mother or groom's parents), the groom and best man? Why is there no bride/bridesmaid speech? That's been the case for all weddings I've seen and been to, I'm going to one at the end of this month and the way I've heard them talking it seems like it'll be the same way. Is this sexism?
