Giving Me Away

I`m 41, getting married for the first time. My father is a minister who will be officiating at the wedding. I have a brother, but I don`t think I need to be "given away" at this point in my life.
Not having been too interested in weddings prior to this, is this something that is expected?
It will be an informal, outdoor Memorial Day weekend wedding with approx 50 guests.

Another thing I failed to mention Ames and MP is that I am Black not Black American but Black British.

Am I not going to talk to any white people anymore because of what was done to black people during slavery? Am I suppose to be filled with hatred to this very day. If so, How do I educate my children in moving forward and becoming successful Black children. As I said previously in my last email, Acknowledge what went on (because is always important to educate ourselves) but move on and do what makes you feel comfortable. Good luck with your wedding Kelly! I know myself and my family are going to have a special wedding. Ames and MP I feel its time for you to let it go don`t be hostile women!
