This happened a few years ago. I was working late in my office one evening.
Knock Knock.
One of the female employees, Lorraine, working for me was outside my office. I asked her to come in and sit down.
I asked Lorraine what she wanted to discuss with me. She said “I think you know I am getting married next week. I also sent you the invitation.” I acknowledged receiving the invitation and said my wife and I will be there.
Lorraine said she wanted me to do her a big favor/help.
I asked her if she is short of money and I will loan her some money. Or, if she wants extra days off to go on honeymoon, I will consider giving her extra days off.
She said she did not want any of them. After I asked her 3 times what she wants, she asked me if I can give her away during the wedding.
Just an example, This is not me or Lorraine.
A father walking his daughter down the aisle and giving her away to the groom is a well-accepted and sometimes touching part of the ceremony. If the bride has no father or father has refused, then a brother or uncle will take his place.
I asked her what happened to her father or brother or uncle. She said they all refused because this is her third marriage. And, she started to cry. I said I will think about it and let her know the next day.
I called Lorraine into my office the next day and told her I would give her away, but with one condition. I told her this should be her last marriage. No more marriages for her. She accepted. (As far as I know, she is still married to that guy.)
On the day of wedding, I asked my wife if she is coming. Originally, she was planning to come. When she came to know I am going to give away the bride, my wife decided not to come to the wedding.
My wife said: Go ahead and give your sister away. Enjoy the free food and drinks.
That is what I did.
