Daughter with two dads dance

I would dance to half a song/dance with one dad…. Have your partner do their dance with their parent and the do half another song with your other dad.

I would dance half of the song veith one and the other half of the song veith the other. Ar my brother's wedding, he has a special dance with my sister and I. I danced with him first and his DJ qued us halfway through to let us know when to switch.

I like Veronica’s suggestion and that way you can enjoy rather than worry when you switch. Beautiful story and family ❤️

I agree with this suggestion!

First, I must say- beautiful photo! In regards to your question, I have a follow up question, do you already have a song picked out? If not maybe choose a longer song or one that has a break/tempo change so you can switch partners. I think it would be great because the continuous song shared among the three of you shows how you love them both and are a team. What a wonderful family you have! (Side note: I hope the surgery went well and he is feeling better!)

The three of you could hold hands and kind of "slow dance" all together

With my big day being just 22 days away... I share in the same experience. I too am a daughter with 2 dads. I am choosing to give them both their own songs (2 seperate dances one after the other) and dance with each one separately. My biological father has surgery recently also, on his heart . He has trouble standing for a long periods of time so I picked a slow song for him where. he wouldn't have to more as much and won't stand for a long time. For my step-dad he is pretty healthy and much more fit so I decided to have him do a faster dance. With regards to the isle walk... My step-dad will walk me most the way an until we get to my father and then they both will give me away. This is truly an amazing feeling to have 2 fathers to share such a memorable moment with I want both of them to have their time to shine with me.

Just go with your heart and do what you know is best for you; while considering both their physical and mental health in the process. Everyone's a winner in this situation. Hope this gives you some alternative insight on how to make it work for you.

Best Wishes.

I would do half with one and half with the other, if you still want to do a mash up, you could start with the slow dance with the one who is having back surgery, and then have it go into a faster tempo song for the "flash" dance with your other dad.

View Quoted Comment Hi rebelle,
Thank you for this advice! I was hoping to have a way all three of us could dance. But maybe this is thie best option! My future husband and MIL don’t want to dance, but maybe I can start the song with one dad and have the other cut in. Thank you again!

View Quoted Comment Hi Ashlee,
Thank you for your advice! I didn’t even think that I could do this! The dad getting back surgery is the better dancer. But that almost makes it better to do the mash up with the dad who is a little less coordinated! It would definitely add to the surprise. Thank you so much!!

I really appreciate your comment! Thank you so much for sharing your experience and congratulations on your fast approaching day! (Ours is 50 days away!) I am leaning towards doing a slow dance and then a faster dance with my other dad! As for the aisle, both dads are walking me down. We have an extra wide aisle to accommodate! I do like that you’ll have both dads walking you down the aisle as well! Thank you again for your advice! Best wishes,Natalie

I love that your brother did that! I think that we’ll probably do something similar and have the dj cue the other dad in. I really appreciate your advice!
Thank you, Natalie

View Quoted Comment Hi Katie! Yes that is true! Then I won’t have to worry and my dad can rest after his portion of the dance. Which will be ideal for him. And thank you so much, I appreciate your kind words ❤️

View Quoted Comment Hi Allison,


What a nice reply, thank you so much! No I haven’t picked out a song yet! I really like your idea of using the same song to show that we are a team and that I love and appreciate them both! And thank you, the surgery went well. All he needs to do now is rest, which is the hard part for him!
Thank you again,
Natalie

View Quoted Comment Hi Samantha,
Yeah I was thinking about this! I would have to see how that’s done since I’m so awkward. But I do like that idea! I also forgot that I have a pretty big dress and need to take that into account! Thank you for your comment!!

You could do a slow and easy line dance with just the 3 of you

I agree 100% with this! I personally am not a big fan of the parent dances that turn into production numbers, so I think splitting one peaceful, mellow, and meaningful song between your two dads is the ideal and suitable thing to do.

I would dance half of the song with one of your dads and the other half of the song with your other dad.

Thank you so much for your comment! I’ll bring that up with my dads and see what they think!!

I love the idea of doing a half and half with each dad! Or you could pick a song for each of them that is special for you and them and possibly do an abbreviated version.
