Okay, so my dad is a dead beat dad... Whatever. Im planning my wedding. I don't know what to do for the "father daughter dance" I was going to ask my soon to be husbands dad to dance with me but just recently found out that he won't even dance with his wife at our wedding. So I really don't want to be told no... That would hurt worse than not even having a dance. I don't have a brother. I don't have any uncle I would feel comfortable dancing with. My mom.... Is that weird to dance with my mom for it? I don't know how I feel about that. Suggestions? Comments? Opinions? Please.

One of my friends did a mother daughter dance at her wedding. It was absolutely beautiful. There wasn't a dry eye in the reception hall.
Weddings should reflect your genuine relationships. It is ok to be "non-traditional." I'm dancing with my great-great uncle. He and my aunt helped raise me.
Do what feels right.

It's totally ok to be "non-traditional". At our wedding, we didn't do the parent dances at all and just had our first dance and then a free-for-all the rest of the night. Do what makes you happy. That's all that is important on your special day.

No, it's not weird that you want your mother to dance with , she raised you . She would love that ! My daughter father is also a deadbeat and when she's older and gets married I would be honored to dance with her on her wedding day. Let me know what you ended up doing on your day ? Congrats too !!!
