We are getting the details in place for our 10/31 wedding. We plan to have the typical first dance and mother/son dance. FH has 2 teenage daughters he will be doing a dance with as well. My father passed away 9 years ago. My mother passed away 10 years ago. My brother is giving me away, but I wasn’t sure what I was going to do about other things such as the father/daughter dance, I’m *considering* dancing with both my brother and my sister and dancing to “Rainbow Connection” from the Muppet Movie. Muppets were a big part of our childhood, and I think it’s a fitting tribute. I don’t want it to be a “downer,” but just a fun moment for the siblings...but am
I completely off base with my thinking?

I think it's totally fine. My sister-in-law's father didn't tend and she didn't want to dance with anyone else. My brother had the typical mother son dance, but then he danced with my sister and I. He danced with me for the beginning of the song then my sister of the other half.

I think that’s a great idea. I don’t think it would be a downer at all, I think it would be a sweet moment. It’s something personally to you and a great tribute. I’m all for personal details!
My FH lost his mom about 22 years ago (at 13) and his dad just months before we met 7 years ago, but he has two half siblings that will be there for him.

My dad passed six years before we got married and my brother walked me down the aisle (I even found something that he could say in response to the "who presents this woman" that honored my dad) and danced with me. We danced to "Sunshine On My Shoulders" by John Denver because my dad called me Sunshine after that song. I cried for the first little bit and my brother cajoled me out of it (as only brothers can do).
All of that to say, I understand where you're coming from, and I think that dancing with your siblings to "The Rainbow Connection" is a beautiful tribute.
