Dear Queenie,
When I got married my father couldn’t walk me down the aisle because he had to be away on business, something that came up at the last minute that he just had to take care of.
Now my brother is getting married and his fiancée’s father is dead so they have asked Dad to walk her down the aisle.
Queenie, I don’t think this is fair. If he couldn’t give me away how can he do the honours for my brother’s fiancée? Is it even proper for the groom’s father to give away the bride?—Jealous daughter
Dear Jealous,
It is not a matter of “giving away the bride,” it is just a matter of escorting her to the altar. Try to suppress your feelings of jealousy and be happy for your brother and his new wife.
