    We're doing a first dance and then later a father/daughter and mother/son dance.

    I'm having a first dance with my spouse but probably not with my dad. I'll be 42 and this is my second wedding. Doesn't seem appropriate at this point in my life. Probably dance with my kids instead.

    First dance for maybe half the song then inviting people to join and of course I have to have my father daughter dance but we will probably ask other parents and children to join as well.

    We're having a first dance, we're getting married December 16th so we're using a Christmas song and as an added surprise for our guest there will be a snow machine. We will also have a father daughter and mother son dance too.

    Definitely doing a first dance, and I want to do a father-daughter dance. Hoping my fiance does a mother-son dance as well, but he is yet to discuss it with her.

    My fiancé and I are doing our first dance and he will be dancing with his mom for the mother son. My dad likely won't be at our wedding (long history of not getting along because of the woman he's with since my mom) so my fiancé will be dancing with my daughter from a previous marriage for the father/daughter dance. She calls him daddy and we want to make her feel included in the big day as much as we can.

    We will have our first dance and he will have his mother-son dance. I will be skipping the father-daughter dance as I'm not close to my dad.
