Parent Dance

You could just have your fiance do the mother son dance, and skip the father daughter dance! You don't have to do both. Otherwise, you could also ask your mom to dance with you in place of the father daughter dance.

You could dance with mom or maybe grandpa or uncle if you're close. Or you could skip it. I'm dancing with my 5 yr old son.

I don't really want to replace my dad with someone else. I think that would be just rude especially if he is contributing to the wedding. I do plan to talk to him about it and see how he feels about it. Our relationship isn't horrible by any means.. but I feel like we just don't have that loving relationship that other father/daughter duos have. Like I feel the statements "He was her first love.." or "She loved me first" don't really apply to us and I feel like a lot of father/daughter songs are basically just that.

What kind of songs are there out there if we decided to do a combo-parent dance?

Here's an article I found suggesting songs for combo parent dances!

You can just leave it out, have the dj or emcee announce the mother-son dance and then smoothly move on to the next thing. It won’t be awkward unless there is some kind of noticeable gap or lull.
Don’t have the dance just because you think you had to. And don’t let your dad guilt you. If he wanted to be ho honored at your wedding, he should have fostered a closer relationship, right?

I’m in the same situation! Not close with my dad so don’t want to do a father daughter dance.
My fiancé and his mom really want to do the mother son dance so I can’t take that away from them. I feel like not doing anything will look weird and guest will notice, so I saw this idea of doing a family dance instead of father daughter. We will have my parents, my fiancées parents, and us, all do a dance together. Will try to pick a kind of upbeat song, nothing too sappy. Maybe If I feel like it, I could partner swap for a second to dance directly with my dad and my fiancé would dance with my mom but .... no guarantees.
Hope this gives you some additional ideas!
