Want to dance but fiancé doesn’t want to

I am faced with the same delimma. I just decided not to do it. I know how uncomfortable it makes him. And I still plan to dance my butt off.

I guess there's no real way to force him, especially if it will make him very uncomfortable. I'd say for the sake of your future husband, just skip it. Some people just don't like dancing, especially when all eyes are going to be on them. I don't even want to do a first dance with my FH, but I don't think he's necessarily opposed to the idea. We LOVE dancing especially when we're at a club.

There is no convincing my FH. Nothing I could do or try would convince him to dance. Makes me a little disappointed but there’s nothing I can do.

My DH was not sure if he was comfortable doing a first dance. We agreed that if we did it we would invite everyone to join us after about 30 seconds into and he didn't have to make the decision until a few minutes before. We told our coordinator and bandleader so they knew to be on standby. He decided to do it and it worked out great and it was a good way to open the dance floor and help with his anxiety.

You can have the guests join in halfway through...we did that to ours.

You can't really force him. I understand your disappointment though. My husband also didn't want a first dance. It was really important to me though so he agreed with the stipulation that he pick the song. I don't know if a compromise like that might work with your fh.

Hi Kat! This is a really tricky situation! Have you maybe talked to him about alternatives to your solo dance? For example, you could always do a group dance open the dance floor to all of your guests? Or, I've even seen some guests sing a song together rather than dancing! Just some ideas for you!
