Fatherless father daughter dance

You can have you mother walk you down the aisle and instead of a father daughter dance you can try a mother daughter dance. I have heard of people doing that in situations where the father cannot be present for whatever the reason being.

How close are you to FHs father? could you possibly do the dance with him? I've heard of people doing that as well- kind of like a joining of the families. And having your mother walk you down the isle is always a good thing. it's just supposed to be someone special to you- no rules on who! good luck!

You could walk yourself down the aisle and for the father-daughter dance have the DJ play your father's favorite song and have all the dads and girls dance together while you dance with FH well DH or FIL

Your wedding is 4 years away and you're worried about that? You already know who's not gonna make it? smh...

Anyhow, my father passed away so I'm skipping the whole father/daughter dance and I was planning on giving myself away but my mom wants to do it, so she'll be walking me down the aisle.

I say have your mom walk you, what about not having a father daughter dance?? We arent having a Mother son dance cause my MIL passed away last year, and now the only family FH has is his 2 brothers.

My father passed away too and i will not have a father/daughter dance. i may have my mom walk me down or i'll walk down by myself.

My father is dead. No father daughter dance. It's not a law or anything. Ill end up dancing with my mom but that's just because it won't be like a schedualed event. If you want to do the dance or be walked down I say have your mom do it. It dosent HAVE to be a male. Remember wedding 'traditions' aren't laws. You shouldn't go looking for the next male candidate because that's what your 'supposed' to do. Just do whatever feels best for you, if you have a good relationship with your mom and feel like it would make her smile go for it! If you feel silly being walked down do it yourself!

What about your new FIL? Have your mother walk you down the aisle it's so memorable, but the father daughter could bond you and FFIL! Hope that helps!

My dad wasn't in my life until december of last year. I am having my ex brother in law give me away. And I am thinking of asking my FIL do the father/daughter dance. I call him dad and I love him, so I think it fits perfect, unless my dad makes it.

My father passed away 9 years ago, so my brother is giving me away and my FH and I decided to skip the whole father/daughter and mother/son dance section.

We will have n family at our wedding, only close friends. i hadnt really thought of this much, but i have a really close guy friend i may ask, or i may walk half way down alone, and meet fh half way then walk together the rest of the way.

I agree with the girls, mother walk down and skip the dance or play his song or any song in his honor.

wow I thought I was starting way ahead to plan my wedding...are you even engaged or are you like me that started planning on just hearing a hint on the engagement plan ?

I'm walking down the aisle alone. Briefly thought about walking down with Mom but, I always pictured my Daddy there (he passed away in 95). I will be stopping at Mom's seat and giving her a hug/kiss before going up to the altar.

I was engaged once before and since Daddy didn't like to dance, he said he'd only dance with me if we could dance to Up Against the Wall Redneck Mother in hopes that I would be horrified enough to say he didn't have to dance with me in public. It became something of a running joke with us so, we'll be playing that song for him at the reception, which should be interesting (you'd understand if you were from TX) as it's something of a frat boy audience participation thing here. I'll be explaining this to the folks at the reception before we play it. I know it sounds completely tacky but, I really don't care. Thinking about it makes me laugh knowing he would think it's hysterical.

Carolina... sorry I have not been on this forum for a long time. We are engaged, but young, so we tried to set the date farther in advance to appease our families. We decided it didnt matter, so we are moving the date to probably 2013
