As in Greece, the father of the bride did not walk down the aisle with his daughter.
As Jim explained it at the reception, the bride is not the property of the father to give away. It is the responsibility of the father to spiritually and morally nurture her. It is up to her own free soul and will that she walk down the aisle with the person wit whom she intends to live the rest of her life.
Brian converted two years ago and is very active in the Greek Orthodox Church. Alexandra has been on missionary work in Alaska helping to repair old Russian wooden churches.
