father of bride
Wedding host traditionally
The father of the bride is the bride's dad in the context of a wedding.
Traditionally he walks his daughter down the aisle, "gives her away" to the groom, and pays for the ceremony.
The role carries ceremonial weight even when the traditions aren't followed literally: The father of the bride gave a toast at the reception.
