Changed my mind on parent dances because of his mother

If you really don't want to do the dances, then yea, that's all you have to say. We decided against dances cause FH doesn't have a great relationship with his mom so he's not fond of spending anytime alone with her.

I think most moms would cry during a mother and son dance.

I do not think her crying is a reason to not do the dances. Also, it is your first wedding it sounds like. Would you miss out on your first dance and father/daughter dance? I think cancelling for her would disappoint your dad because the dance idea he had would be taken away.

It’s your husband’s decision if he wants to dance with his mom or not, not yours. I can’t imagine taking that honor away from a parent because they might cry. Seems super odd to me.

Just let her cry, it’s pretty normal at weddings OR have your FH pick a song that is fun and upbeat for their dance, not slow and sappy.

Oh yeah if he’s been married before screw it. No dancing

I agree with Stacey- let her cry. You need your father/daughter dance!

I would let your fiancé decide. Just because she will cry doesn't mean you shouldn't do dances. Most moms cry during the mother son dance. My husband's mom cried pretty much the second they started dancing. It was beautiful to witness the two of them have that moment.

I mean, my dad almost cried during our dance, so I cracked a joke, and then we both laughed, instead.

If you don't want to do the dances, that's fine, but don't blame her for that. Just don't do them - it's your wedding, your call.

My mom cried when she danced with my brother at his wedding and mil cried when she danced with H. I cried when I danced with my brother (my dad passed before the wedding) and my mom was a basket case. Weddings are emotional. In all likelihood someone's going to cry. If you don't want to dance, then don't, but a few tears aren't the reason not to.
