Joint parents dance songs

Sara P., on March 7, 2018 at 8:38 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 7

Some of you may remember a previous post I made about whether or not to dance with my Dad. This still weighs on my mind regularly. At the time of my first post, I wasn't even sure if my Dad would come to the wedding. But I guess he's coming because, to my surprise, he went and got fitted for a tux. So now I'm thinking...okay, I can dance with him for literally a minute (or less, maybe, LOL) but I will most likely do it at the same time as my FH is dancing with his Mom to make it less awkward for me. My questions are this...Did anyone else do joint parents dances? Is less than a minute for parent dances too short? And what song recommendations do you all have for a dance for both Dad and Mom dancing with Bride and Groom, respectively? Honestly, guys, I probably won't be able to let this weight off my shoulders until the wedding is over with. Smiley winking

    I no longer have my father part of my life. So it's actually become a tradition to have the "father daughter dance" with my uncle. I plan on doing this dance at the same time my FH dances with his mom. I worried people would get bored if we did two 3 minute songs.

    We did a combined father/daughter mother/son dance. We used "Have I Told You Lately."

    If you feel uncomfortable or anxious about it I wouldn’t do it. You don’t want that to be on your mind and distracting you on your wedding day.

    What about some version of Forever Young?

    Really, no matter what I decide to do, it's going to be uncomfortable.

    Hmm that sounds like an option. I'll have to look at the lyrics and make sure there's nothing too sappy. Thanks.

    Mt step-dad wants a song that I really don't like so I am doing my dance with him for the first verse of the song, then switching to Unforgettable and then inviting FH and his mom and then all people who have parents there to join us.
