Sister of the Bride Dance???

Soon ToBe MrsJohnson, on August 13, 2016 at 9:23 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 1 22

Does that sound weird? Can i do a sister dance or just not dance at all? My FH will be doing a mother son dance. I never knew my father and my mother recently passed..so no parents. My little sister (she's 14) is my only immediate family. Will it be weird to do a dance with her? ETA: Any song suggestions?

    Not at all especially since she is your only immediate family and I'm assuming you two are close.. I think that's very sweet and I did a brother dance cause my father isn't in my life and he's the only brother I have! It was very special to me and I cried like a baby the whole time ! Hope this helps !! Smiley smile

    You don't *have* to do this tradition (or any other), so don't do it if you're just trying to fill a gap. If you really want to, though, you absolutely should. I think it would be adorable!

    As for songs what about:

    Faith Hill- There You'll Be

    Rascal Flatts - My Wish

    Lee Ann Womack- I Hope You Dance

    John Legend - It Don't Have To Change

    My sister walked down the aisle and danced with my brother for her wedding because our father passed when we were young. During their dance, they pulled me in and the three of us danced while we made the most important pinky promise that we will ever make in our lives......to never let anything or anyone tear us apart. It was all caught on the wedding video and is now one of my most cherished memories.

    I promise you won't regret choosing her as your first dance Smiley smile

    I think that would be so cute & sweet. Plus it doesn't have to be a formal dance. Pick a song that you & her like & just have fun. Dance like no one is watching. Make it a happy moment other than a sad one.
