Are you doing father daughter dance?

We are not doing a father/daughter dance. However, I was able convince my mother to do a mother/daughter dance. DH and his mother are doing a mother/son dance.

I'm not doing a father/daughter dance. Neither of us like really being the center of attention or dancing. FH mom passed away a few years ago so he won't being doing a dance either.

I'm doing a father daughter dance. I think it'll be awkward because my dad is awkward, but that's okay. And FH is dancing with his mom and step mom.

Yes me and my dad will. Not sure if fh will. If he does it'll probably be some sort of variation which he switches off between the women in his life. I have an idea of something that could take the attention off them but im not sure he'll be down.

I will certainly be doing a father daughter dance! <3 We are not that close, like he is with my younger sister, but I couldn't imagine not having a father daughter dance.

Yes we're doing both. I'm a bit nervous about the dances, just because I don't like being in the spotlight, nor am I a very sentimental person. But FH and I chose a fun upbeat song and have been practicing, so I hope that will help my nerves. And I know my dad wants to have his dance, so for him I'm willing to do it. If you really want to dance with your dad talk to him about it! Maybe picking out a song together and practicing will help the awkwardness. FH is also dancing with his mom but I'm leaving all that up to him, I'm not even sure what song they've picked.

I'm doing a father/daughter dance ("I Loved Her First") as well as a stepfather/daughter ("You Raise Me Up" by Josh Groban) dance. I'm not close to my Dad, but I wouldn't want to leave it out. It's important to me.

I really really want to and I know my stepdad will do it if I ask him but I haven't decided if I'll ask him or not. I don't know if he wants/expects to? idk Like your situation, we're very close and he's always there for me but he definitely doesn't dance lol

ETA- the mother son dance will depend on how FH's mom's back is doing by then. She had to get back surgery and I know she's in pain a lot. I'm sure she'll want to if she can

If he had not passed in January I would have. We skipped the parent dances and wedding party dance. To awkward for all involved. I was not ready to dance with my brothers in his place. Both of them walked me down the aisle, but I would have cried through the entire dance. My oldest brother did come dance with me during the dollar dance, I have valuable photographic evidence to prove it. LOL

Definitely not. My father is the definition of anti-social. I doubt he will even show up to my wedding let along dance in front of anyone. FH will probably do a mother/son dance.

My dad and I are going to dance for sure! With any luck his legs will be strong enough that day (darn MS) but if not, We've danced with him in the chair before. Our song is "some day my prince will come". Dad used to sing it to me when I was little. FH and his mom aren't going to dance. They're both very uncomfortable with dancing and the spotlight so they're going to pass.

Omg @kalamityjen that's so precious!!!!

I am doing a father daughter dance and my papa never dances with my mom either so you're not alone on that!

We aren't specifically doing a father/daughter mother/son, but we will dance with them at some point during the night. This way it won't be as highlighted. If you feel awkward you could do something like us or do them both at the same time and invite other guests up to dance after 30 seconds or so.

We're doing a father/daughter dance. My dad isn't a big dancer, but it's one of the few traditional things I like, so we will do it. Maybe just for a minute though... I don't think we will do the full song. FH's mom passed last year, so he will not be doing a dance with her. I did think maybe he and my mom will dance while I dance with my dad.

I'm so undecided on this. My dad has Parkinson's and unfortunately we never know if he will be able to function or not. I don't want him to feel awkward about it either. On the other hand, I know my step-dad will want to, and I'm ok with it, but don't want my dad to feel left out if he can't.

I have a similar kind of relationship with my dad, but my parents divorced when I was 18. My dad now lives across the country from me. I'm still doing a father daughter dance, mother son all depends if FHs mom is in good health for the wedding (for those who know the story, she ended up going for another week of radiation). But anyways, I plan out dancing with my dad to "Cinderella" by Steven Curtis Chapman as it's not overly sappy and emotional compared to some other "traditional" father/daughter songs

I did. and i'm really glad i did.

i hear that, when i was really little, i was a total daddy's girl. but as i grew up a little bit, and my parents divorced when i was around 5 or 6, my relationship with my dad grew kind of distant. my dad is a tough shell to crack as it is, and not being able to be around him all the time (just for holiday and summer vacations) didn't help. as i grew up more though, and graduated high school, my dad and mine's relationship has been growing again. we've become a lot closer and have had a couple heart to hearts that really meant a lot to me. even though our relationship is still a little awkward and my dad is totally not really the mushy type, i'm really glad we did the father daughter dance. the photos and the video are priceless to me. i know my dad isn't going to be around forever and i know that i would have really regret not having that moment with him.

my dad and i even had a moment on my wedding day where he really shared how proud he was of me and how much he loved me and that doesn't come easy from my dad. he was supposed to give a speech (which is huge) but unfortunately he'd almost completely lost his voice around the wedding and was unable to speak well. instead he wrote his speech in a card for DH and i and it was the one of the sweetest things i've ever heard from my dad. he even got teared up a little when i thanked him for it and told him how much it meant to me. those memories will last forever with me. i'm really glad i had them.

if you have ANY relationship with your father at all, no matter how strained or awkward. if you are on good terms, do it. you will not regret it.

We are not doing a father/daughter dance. We are, however, doing a father/daughter song. We are both musicians and he will be playing guitar while I sing.

I'd give a million dollars to be able to dance with my dad. We list him 14 years ago. Miss him every day. I can't begin to tell you how sad I am that he and my mom won't be there. If you and your dad are able to, do the dance. You won't regret it.
