    Keeping! I can't wait for our first dance, although FH is super nervous. I'm excited for the dance with my dad too, and so is he. FH and his mom are on the fence. They're super nervous. I think that's all we're planning.

    Yes, we'll have a first dance and the parent dances (both parent dances at the same time).

    We're keeping the first dance tradition. Directly after our reception entrance... seemed like the perfect time to do it. Plus we're dancing with our parents at the same time...

    Keep. We’ll do a first dance. We’re combining father daughter and mother son dances into one song. And since I have two dads I’ll dance with my father first and then my step father for the second half of the song

    I think we decided (just this morning) to skip the dances entirely. We have no desire to take dance lessons and thinking about our 80+ guests watch us sway back and forth for several minutes makes me cringe, haha. My dad will probably not want to do a father/daughter dance and neither will FMIL with FH.

    Keep. It's one of those things that only takes a few minutes and I don't want to regret it later on in life.

    I would love to skip out on these, but they are important to my fiancé so we are going to change it up a little and have our guests participate in them with us!

    We're having a first dance, and then maybe a father daughter dance, and a mother and son dance.

    Keeping! We'll do first dance and mother/son dance but will be skipping father/daughter dance because my dad passed away last year.

    We will have our first dance. I will have two father-daughter dances, and my FH will dance with his mother.

    We are going to be having our first dance! We’ve already picked out or song way before we got engaged and that is going to be the song that we dance too as coming out into the world as Mr and Mrs to our family

    That is a give or take thing with me. And since husband to be has 2 left feet as he would put it I would skip it. But then again he would really try for me...
