| Summary: | father-giver The titles "maid of honour" and "best man" were unknown. The chief attendants were the "father-giver" and the "mother-giver", and the other attendants, if there were any others, were dubbed "bridesgirls" and "bridesboys". The "father-giver" was a cross between the "father" and the "best man"; he performed both duties. .when the minister asked "who giveth this woman" he responded, but he still stayed in his position and "supported" the groom. However, he did not carry the ring, the groom himself had this. W. Kirwin, 3/73 JH 3/73 DNE-cit Used I Used I Used I
