Keep or Cancel: Parent Dances?

Keep. It's important to my father, and I'm very close to him so it's important to me as well. FH and his mom is still up in the air

Keep I think it's a free and sweet way to honor the parents. Although they tend to be pretty awkward from the guest perspective

They are great. But I am canceling those. I list my mom 2 years ago and my father has severe dementia so unfortunately I can't do it.

Keep! Were going with the traditional dances but were adding an in law dance. My fiance is an only child and his dad will never have a father daughter dance so I would love to give that to him. And he has said before, I'm the daughter he never had.

Keep... Hopefully my Daddy's health will hold up until the wedding🤞🙏
I'm also planning to dance with my 8 yo stepson or honorary son, as I call him

Keeping 💕 I can hardly wait to dance with my father. He's been my hero for so long.
There's just something special about this to me.
He's 80 and I'm an older bride 51. I think I'll still tear up. I feel blessed that he's still walking me down the isle, and wants to have a father daughter dance. This is my second wedding I'm a widow that was blessed to be married for 31 years. It was a small living room ceremony and had a cake reception the first time. God blessed me and I reunited with my first boyfriend we are having a beautiful ceremony and reception with a dance. So it'll be my first F & D dance. I'm so excited. I say keep it and cherish the memories. Tomorrow is never promised.

I’m keeping with tradition. We are having a DW and having a reception dinner. There will be music playing throughout the reception but not doing the traditional dancing reception. We’ll do the 1st dance & parents dances though. Well go dancing after the reception at the resorts club.

Well we cancelled, but mostly because we don’t really have parents. Both of FH parents have passed and my dad is not in the picture. We are instead doing brother/sister dances since I have a brother and he has two sisters.

Keep. I think it’s a very special moment for the father and the bride to have.

Still deciding. My dad would love it but FH mom passes away a few years ago. So not sure what to do

I will be dancing with my step father, he's 8 years older than me and I've only known him 6 years but he's a real father compared to the man who "loves me" but hasn't even met his grandchildren. He learned spanish just so he could help teach them (we are a mixed family), something I still struggle with, he's teaching me too. He wants this dance and I hate it but I want him to know I love him, because he's the dad I've always needed.

His mom can’t do the dance. My dad and I are doing one. He would be crushed if we did not.

We're actually choosing a third option - combining. We're doing mother/son and father/daughter dances simultaneously and in the middle of the dance our parents will hand us back to each other to finish the song.

Keep.

I will also add one to dance with my adult son, and FH w/his kids( adult Son & Daughter) and they can dance w/new step if they want.
As well as do a dance w/my mom.

I guess I have to dance w/his stepdad & he my mom, stepmom too?

Our parents aren’t coming, so they made it quite an easy decision for us 😂

Keep!!! I love these traditions. I wont get to dance with my dad, but He will get to dance with his mom. I think this is an important tradition to keep. Definitely a keeper.👍💖💗🙌

I'm sorry the He was FH. FH will get to dance with his mother.

Keep I want to include the parents in the wedding.

I would 100% keep. I don't have a lot of family and even the small amount that I do I don't spend a lot of time around. We are all so busy in life that having the parent dance with my dad is possibly one of the things I am looking forward to most on my wedding day.

My Dad won’t be there and I don’t plan on having anyone fill in... we will most likely cancel all of it
