It has all the ingredients of a wedding. The
proud tuxedo-clad father, the frosted white cake, the limousines and an
exchange of vows.
But there is no groom and the girl in the long gown is no bride. She's daddy's little girl, there to take a vow of chastity.
In what is becoming a trend among conservative Christians in the
United States, girls as young as nine are pledging to their fathers to
remain virgins until they wed, in elaborate ceremonies dubbed "Purity
Balls."
The gala affairs are intended to celebrate the father-daughter relationship.
