Do fathers still expect to be asked permission to marry their daughter? Is this a sexist tradition?

119. Oh ffs.

Yes, it happens, particularly when one is talking about an outfit worn a grand total of one whole time in a lifetime.

Not to mention the fact that some people might want their parents up there, given, oh, I don't know, some sort of sentimental emotional attachment they might have for those particular carbon-based life forms. Hell, I think my mom walked me down, too, come to think of it. She walked me somewhere. And, she has bad knees; so go ahead and add Elder Abuse to the list of nightmarish micro-oppressions.

I don't know, I'll have to watch the video. Which is something else people do for their weddings, even if they never watch the thing again.

No, you've got me figured out, the lil' wifey is just a shrinking violet, why she's ironing my sleeveless, grease-stained shirt as we speak. "STELLAAAAAAAA!"

And me, I love archaic traditions just because. The older, the sillier, the more senseless the better. Fie and Fiddlesticks, You've got my number, indeed!
