No dad daughter dance but mother son dance

Corrie, on May 13, 2018 at 12:03 AM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 10
So we Will be engaged soon within the year. And we have already discussed since I'm not close with my dad ( he's never really been there but will invite him out of respect) I will walk alone. Using the excuse of I'm my own person I don't need someone to give myself away. But he's so close with his parents they are amazing honestly been more family to me then my own. So I want him to have that moment with his mom but I can't stomach doing a dad and daughter dance with my own dad. Is there a way to do it? Or do I have to suck it up and do the dance with my dad while my skins crawling

    That is not a big deal to skip if you don't feel comfortable dancing with your dad! If you wanted to, you could always do a spotlight dance with your mom/brother/grandfather/anyone else who has taken on a parentlike role in your life. But if you didn't do one at all, that would be totally fine too.

    My dad will not be at our wedding. Our Dj suggested we do a ‘mother’s dance’ so we will both dance with our mothers at the same time. Will your mother be there?

    My mother has also never been there we reconnected bc she has breast cancer so I'm over looking everything and it seems to have changed her alot she wants to be involved and is more normal but I dont think that's an option. This whole things weird bc I pretty much havw no family but his is so close knit. Im not sure how to navigate it.

    My dad's never been there but I feel it's awkward or drama causing. I barely have ties with my family it's just so awkward

    In all honesty if I could skip my family being there it would be awesome besides my mom who I'm trying to build ties with. But that just seems wrong if it could just be his family or an elopement thing it would be so much easier but his family's such a part of.our lives we have to do a full wedding

    I would love to dance with his dad. But I feel it would be such a slap in the face to my dad. I considered it but I don't want to be rude.

    There are a lot of people who do one dance without the other. Either only doing mother-son or only doing father-daughter. I don’t find it unusual at all as there are so many different types of families. Also, a lot of people aren’t even paying attention during those dances anyway.

    Hi just skip the whole thing in general if you feel that way about every other option just skip it , it isn’t necessary to have it , I won’t be having a daughter father dance because my father passed away when I was 9 years old so iam skipping it my fiancé told me to do it with his father who iam close to it I don’t want to because he has two other daughter who will someday get married and I don’t want to take that moment away from them alhought our experience will never be the same as their because those are his daughters but still I don’t want to do it that moment to be was made for my father and him only , I’ll probably be walking down alone to I don’t want to add pressure to my mother having it to it and I’m not close to any of my uncles so just skip it over all it isn’t a must us brides forget that all these weddings stuff isn’t a must it’s all made crap that couples follow you can have your wedding any style you like and however you like it to !!!

    I’m walking alone and skipping the father/daughter dance. My dads not invited, haven’t spoken to him in almost 4 years.

    I dont feel weird about it. I think people will get the hint when I walk alone down the aisle.
