Brother-sister dance?

Just dance with your brother during the night. Adding a dance with your brother and the another dance for your FH and his siblings is just too much IMO and gets boring for the guests.

It would be fine if you combined the father/daughter and mother/son dance together to the same song and THEN have the bride/brother and groom/sister dance afterwards (also together to the same song) so there's only two dances as I agree, four would be too many and boeing for the guests.

I've only seen a sibling dance when there was no parent to do a parent dance. It's not really a thing that the bride or groom does a spotlight dance with every immediate family member. Did your mom say why, or where she got the idea?

I agree with LB. Tell your mom that you promise to save a dance for him, but that your guests don't want to sit through so many dances. What does your brother think? I'm guessing he wouldn't want to do one with just you 2 on the floor. Yoomie's idea also works if the groom and his sister want to dance, but they might not have that close of a relationship. Or maybe you don't want to share the spotlight for your father/daughter dance. In any case, try to limit "special" dances to 2 songs.

I have told her this. Shes all like "but hes your only brother" and I'm like....okay I wouldnt force him to dance with me on his wedding day

Yeah I would definitely ex-nay the brother/sister dance. That is just too much IMO. I'm sure your Mom will come around and understand that's only a thing if your dad isn't around for the father/daughter dance. Good luck!

I feel like that would be awkward for guests, and they will be getting antsy sitting through all those dances. I would just dance with him at some point in the night. I had our band learn a song for my son, but it will not just be my son and I on the dance floor, they are just going to dedicate the song to him. I didn't want to add another dance and keep people off the dance floor themselves longer than necessary.

Personally do what you want and don't worry about anyone else. My oldest daughter had a specific dance with her brother at her wedding. No one was nervous, confused, or upset....the guests thought is was special, and touching.

I have 4 brothers and my father has passed away. I am trying to incorporate all my brothers some how in the wedding. Got the 2 older ones handled...oldest to walk me down the aisle...2nd oldest to do a brother / sister country line dance. Don't know how to involve the younger ones. They are all 30 yrs old and older. The 2 younger ones are not much for the spotlight. They may not want to do anything. I would suggest asking your brother what he would like to do. Remember its your wedding!!! (I have to keep telling myself that too LOL)

I'd be like, "so...? What does that have to do with anything?"

Also, I'm assuming that because you're getting married, you're an adult, which means you don't have to do everything your mother asks you to do. If you don't want to do it, don't. It's really that simple.
