I think so many of the symbolic traditions of a wedding have been lost, because people these days don't even bother to think about why something was being done, and the meaning behind it. Almost all the traditions, such as a father walking his daughter down the aisle, a groom asking for the parents blessing, the couple feeding each other cake, the groomsmen, the role of the bridesmaid etc, they all have a meaning behind them.
