protocol for mother-son dance when bio mother deceased?

It's his step mother and they aren't close. If he's closer to your mom then he can dance with her or he can skip it all together. My dad passed away and not once did I think of dancing with my step father. I feel like that would be a slap in the face to my dad. I'll be dancing with my brother instead.

We are skipping it. My FH's mom passed a few years ago also. Did you ask him what he wants?

He seemed indifferent. Maybe best to just skip it then for both? Would it seem rude just to do the bride father part?

I don't think it's rude to just do father-son but it should be what's best for your situation. Is there an aunt or someone else he's close with? We also did them together at the same time so it would minimize the attention.

We did a father daughter dance but did not do a mother son dance. You have to so what us best and feels right for the both of you. Nothing wrong with skipping a dance at all.

Thanks so much everyone!
