Is the Father/daughter dance for me or my dad?

I know this sounds like a silly question but I can't seem to get it out of my head. FH and I were discussing our timeline and we are both fine without having the mother/son and father/daughter dance. There is no strain in our relationships with either of them but we're not...

I know this sounds like a silly question but I can't seem to get it out of my head. FH and I were discussing our timeline and we are both fine without having the mother/son and father/daughter dance. There is no strain in our relationships with either of them but we're not super-close-talk-to-them-everyday-they're-the-first-people-we-call-and-they're-both-from-the-Asian-motherland-if-that-makes-it-more-understandable (hehe)... so we nixed it from our timeline because my WE'RE okay not doing it. We're not getting any advice or opinions from them for this wedding (they are both contributing a fourth of the budget total but are giving us free range for us to plan) but I am the only girl and FH is her only child... should we at least run it past them to see if it's okay that we don't do those dances? Or is it more for the parents?

    It couldn't hurt to ask them.

    I think it's definitely for both bride/groom and their parent. I can't imagine not having a father/daughter dance with my dad. We may not have always been close but I am his baby girl and his only girl. The father/daughter dance is just as important to him as it was for my FI to ask for his blessing.

    My dad and FMIL would be so disappointed if we didn't do this. I'm not sure about my FH, but it's equally as important to me as it is to my dad.
