Brother Sister dance....

That sounds like it will be absolutely beautiful! My father passed away when I was little, but I don't have a brother, so I will be dancing with my grandfather, uncles, and brother-in-law. It's so great that you two will be taking a dance lesson also. I'm sure your mom will love that, and I hope you both enjoy yourselves as well!

@Christine- thank you! Are you having 3 separate dances or choosing one of them? We are both so nervous, but the look on my mom's face when the DJ calls us up ( I am going to have him announce: this is for their mom Shirley, in honor of their dad Kenny) yesterday I told her I decided to forgo this part of the night all together so I think she will be very very surprised to see me and my brother get up there! I'm praying I'm not a balling MESS!! lol

I don't think it will be awkward at all.

I have seen were the bride starts dancing with a sibling and then paternal relatives take turns to dance with her.

I've been thinking about doing a dance with my brother if we do end up dancing, I'd like the song to be American Honey by Lady Antebellum

I think it is a phenomenal idea !

Awwww I'm so glad to hear your plan is coming together! I think the jaunty upbeat style of the song will keep you from crying. But even if you do cry, it will be such a beautiful, poignant moment. Can't wait to hear how it works out!!

@FutureMrs Eckley.... I'm not familiar with that song but will have a listen! Def ask him :×)

I think it is a fantastic idea!

I'm having my male cousins dance with me to My Wish by Rascal Flats.

I love this idea!

@Andrea....thank you! :+)

@soontobeRTR-over all these months, I knew there was something deep down that kept me from asking my future father-in-law (even though he's awesome) and early Sat AM when FH left for work I played that video posted on WW and as soon as I heard the song, I started crying and KNEW in my heart that was the song I wanted to dance with my brother to and it all made sense!!! Good thing I finally saw the light cuz at least there's just enough time for one lesson....maybe two if needed but the dance instructor I spoke with played the song and already has a couple of great ideas for us. We just want a few simple steps so that we will feel more confident. :+)

That is wonderful. Me and my brother are very close and would def consider this.

@A & L - I thought of asking my mom to come up part way through the song, but when I asked her to walk me down the aisle with my brother she said she would rather not as it would make her nervous plus she wants to see me walking as I come down the aisle (which I guess made sense) so I think I won't call call her up in case it makes her feel uncomfortable.

Beautiful idea.

Thanks for making me cry! I love it and your mom will be a puddle!

You can dance with whomever you like. It's Your wedding I'm dancing with my mom!

@ MOB - I'm sorry! lol. The morning after seeing that video on WW I balled my eyes out while listening to it over and over (I even danced around the room as if with my dad) and just knew that it was right. Of all the millions of (by comparison) insignificant decisions I've struggled w thru out planning, this was by far the clearest one where I have ZERO doubts about! The song alone is so sweet and sentimental....add the fact it will be to honor my dad who i miss terribly everyday, I'll be lucky if I have any makeup left when the days over! lol

@Susan.....we've met with the DJs twice and they know that I was still undecided about this part of the night, so now I'll be filling them in. :+)

Love the idea! Although slightly different circumstances (my mother passed 8 years ago), when my brother got married, both my sister and I danced with him at his wedding. It was a really special moment for all of us.

It doesn't sound awkward to me at all, I think it's so beautiful.
