Family gone

Katerina, on December 12, 2025 at 7:44 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 2
I’m 30 years old and getting married. My mom passed when I was young, then my sister when I was 20, and dad. My fiancé feels bad for doing a mother son dance without doing something for me and my dad. My uncle was going to do join, but he unfortunately passed away this last year. My grandparents are deceased. I’ve definitely accepted life on life turns, but Just really need some ideas on what to do. Thank you in advance!

    I’m really sorry you’ve had to carry so much loss. There’s no requirement to follow traditional parent dances if they don’t fit your situation. Many couples either skip them entirely or turn that moment into something shared, like inviting all guests to the dance floor or choosing a meaningful song without a spotlight. Some also do a simple mention in the program or a brief acknowledgment by the DJ to honor loved ones who aren’t there. The most important thing is choosing what feels comfortable and authentic for you — there’s no wrong choice.

    My family is not coming to my wedding because they are rich and royal and my fiance is poor and I am giving up my title to marry him. I don't care I'm going blind and he loves me and is the only one who has ever stood by me. I too have no family that is alive to do the father daughter dance and all that. My best friend is giving me away and doing the father daughter dance. But it'll be Man of Honor dance. And my fiance will have his son mom dance. We'll have our first dance if my guide dog doesn't crash it lol
