Dancing at wedding

What "religious reasons" would one have for no dancing?

That’s what we did! We signed our marriage license and then did our first dance, a father daughter dance, and a mother son dance. There was a lot of good cheer and a LOT of hugging after, but no more dancing. Instead we went to have toasts, dinner, cake and alcohol. It wasn’t awkward in the slightest and is actually my second favorite part of my wedding (second to our first looks).

I’ve necer been to a wedding with Club dancing before. I’m in my 20s and would never do that at a wedding. That being said, have dinner and hen cake and expect a lot of people to leave afterwards. I would leave pretty quickly if I wasn’t allowed to dance at all.

This sounds like footloose.. how can you not allow others to dance? That’s pretty extreme and obnoxious. You should just put “no fun allowed” on your invites.

Can I ask how old you are without sounding rude? I think most people who are mature enough to be invited to a wedding know not to grind and twerk at a wedding... I have been to SO many weddings and never saw anyone ever do something like that.

FH's family had a wedding like this, I was actually a bridesmaid and we still had no idea there would be no dancing until we got there. Everyone was really bummed. They had a first dance, father-daughter dance, monther-son dance, then they put the cake right in the middle of the dance floor and other food so that there wasn't any room to dance. Half the people left right after dinner, the other half went outside to dance (it was a barn reception so you could still hear the music pretty clearly right outside). There was no alcohol so the reception ended after about 2 hours.

VIctoria, I'm not keen on dancing although the FH wants to dance just as this and I think I'm going to point out either we all dance or no one does because it's going to be really awkward like ushering everyone out right after the cake cutting.
