The celebrant: Who gives this woman to be married to this man? The bride’s father responds: She gives herself, with the blessing of her mother and father.
Or instead of the word "gives" insert "brings" and the father could respond "her family does".
There are a lot of options..

OH! I like that a lot. The tradition of a father giving away his daughter seems kind of outdated since most people live away from home and establish their own lives before marriage now. That being said, I still want my daddy to walk me down the aisle cause it's sweet. That wording is perfect.
