I have seen a couple of these post but none that truly describe what I plan on doing. I have talked with my DJ and some family about what I am wanting to do. My father passed away when I was 11 years old. Along time ago. The day that we are getting married -- is actually his birthday! We were going to have a birthday tribute dance. I ballroom dance and my friend that does that with me created a bolero dance to the song Dance With My Father Again -- we were going to cut the song in half and have myself dance with my friend and then the DJ would invite all father's and daughter out onto the dance floor -- that is when I would grab my stepfathers hand and dance with him. I would explain to him that even though my dad was the first part of my song -- that he is the second. A way to give honor to him. I am just curious as I have seen many people suggest on here that I shouldn't do something like this-- but everyone around me said it would be sweet. Opinions?

This is very thoughtful but as a guest I'd need a whole
Box of tissues because I'd be bawling my damn eyes out

I think it's too much, quite honestly.

I think this would be so sweet and a lovely way to honor your father and all have a special moment with your stepdad. Who cares what people on here think? If it's special to you, go ahead and do it!

I would split these things maybe? A tribute to your dad and a fun dance? To avoid tears maybe a note about it being your dad's bday in the program too.

Wow this sounds so amazing and really thought. My only thought is that I cry every time I hear that song, and Just because not personal to me.. if that is okay for you then do it. Just make sure you have put thought into others emotions.

I lost my dad this December, after I already gotten engaged. I've decided to do my father daughter dance with my brother, who is walking me down the aisle, to the song I was going to dance with my dad to, and then I'm doing another dance in remembrance of my dad with my uncle, his brother, to my dad's favorite song. Since it's so recent, I'm trying not to make my wedding about losing my dad, which is really hard, but I still feel the need to recognized him too because it's very obvious to people too, and my fiance is fine with that.... Am i gonna be a mess?? Absolutely, all day i will be, but I need to do it for me. So YOU do what YOU feel is right in your heart!

If you think you (and your mom, etc) can make it through without totally crying, I think it would be sweet! I'm sure you'll be missing your dad, so if this is how you want to honor him, go for it!

I agree you do you, it sounds beautiful. My son lost his dad when he was 11 and his bride lost her uncle when she was 7. We had a glass cylinder with their names etched on it with a floating candle. They lit the candle and the minister said a prayer. Was it emotional? Absolutely. We're there tears? Absolutely. It was so worth the memorial to them.
