Need Idea for Alternate to Mother /Son Dance

Laura, on June 17, 2017 at 9:26 AM Posted in Planning 0 4

HELP! I am desperately seeking an alternate idea for a mother/son dance. Our wedding is a week from today and this past week my FMIL had a fall and broke her wrist as well as 2 bones in her leg. She is in her 70's and this is her first child to marry, and she has been looking forward to this dance for a long time. She will be in a wheelchair for the wedding but does not want to do any sort of "dance" in a wheelchair. I know she is super disappointed not to have this moment with her son so I have been trying to come up with something meaningful to do instead . I was thinking maybe the DJ could says a few words to explain while my fiancé brings her a bouquet of flowers. He is not the overly sentimental type, nor does he like speaking in public, so I doubt I will get him to make a little speech to his mom. Anyway, that's all I can come up with. Any other creative minds have an idea of something to replace the dance??

    Have a photo montage show during the time that they would dance together

    Thats a good idea @Shana......if you can get the stuff together a photo slide show during the song they would have danced to would be super cute.

    I like Shana's idea - maybe also have them just be together for those few minutes out on the dance floor (not dancing, just sitting) so they still have those private moments?

    @shana I LOVE that idea. Only problems are when I went through pics for the montage for our shower I could only find 8 that included him and his mom (not a picture taking family I guess) and also it might be a challenge coming up with something to project it with. I'm sure for some extra $$$ the DJ company would have something we could rent. But I still have the problem of only having 8 pictures.
