Line #1 PlayingWith/GiveAwayTheBride


1	'''Basic Trope''': The bride's father walks her down the aisle at her wedding.
2	* '''Straight''': Alice's father, Charles, walks her down the aisle.
3	* '''Exaggerated''':
4	** Alice is surrounded by all her male relatives.
5	** Alice walks up with ''both'' her parents.
6	** Charles doesn't only walks Alice down the aisle, but when he gets to the front formally announces that he is giving his daughter in marriage to Bob, and that the marriage therefore has his approval.
7	* '''Downplayed''': Charles walks Alice up to the start of the aisle, then takes his own seat.
8	* '''Justified''':
9	** AliceAndBob are marrying in a time or place where women were considered property, and the marriage is not valid without her father's approval.
10	** Alice is injured or disabled, and needs help getting to the altar.
11	** [[SmallReferencePools It's tradition.]]
12	* '''Inverted''':
13	** Alice walks Charles up to the altar at his second marriage to Carol.
14	** Alice walks to the altar alone.
15	** Alice's mother, Barbara, leads her to the altar.
16	* '''Gender Inverted''': Bob is walked down the aisle by his mother Jane, or his father James, or both.
17	* '''Subverted''':
18	** Alice is not walked down the aisle by her father...
19	** AliceAndBob walk down the aisle together.
20	* '''Double Subverted''':
21	** But by another male relative, or by a friend, or even Bob.
22	** Guided by both sets of parents, as in a Jewish wedding.
23	* '''Parodied''': Alice's father is a feeble old man, and though he ''tries'' to walk Alice down the aisle as per tradition, Alice ends up walking him halfway through.
24	* '''Zig-Zagged''':
25	** Charles appears and reappears at Alice's side seemingly at random as she walks down the aisle.
26	** Alice has [[MassiveNumberedSiblings many sisters]]. Charles walks Alice, Catherine, Evelyn, and Greta down the aisle, but not Belinda, Denise, Frances, or Harriet.
27	* '''Averted''':
28	** Alice is not walked down the aisle by anyone, if there even ''is'' an aisle where she and Bob are marrying.
29	** This is not the tradition in this particular setting.
30	* '''Enforced''': SmallReferencePools, TheCoconutEffect
31	* '''Lampshaded''': "Daddy, will you walk me down the aisle?"
32	* '''Invoked''': AliceAndBob announce their engagement, and Charles (her father) asks if she'd like him to walk her down the aisle.
33	* '''Exploited''': ???
34	* '''Defied''': Alice says no, or Charles doesn't even bring it up.
35	* '''Discussed''': ???
36	* '''Conversed''': "In modern times, not everyone is willing to do this."
37	* '''Deconstructed''': May be considered anachronistic and sexist [[ValuesDissonance in some circles]].
38	* '''Reconstructed''': Charles respects Alice's wishes regarding the act. If she considers it ValuesDissonance, then he won't force the issue on the grounds that it's tradition.
39	* '''Played for Laughs''': Alice's father carries a {{shotgun\|Wedding}}, and he's not afraid to use it [[DisproportionateRetribution if the groom gives him a reason to do so]]!
40	* '''Implied''': A TimeSkip between Alice's acceptance of Bob's marriage proposal and her arrival at the altar takes place, with Charles just a step away from her.
