    We will definitely have a first dance. And i'm sure we'll dance with our parents but we wont be making that a special spotlight moment.

    We are definitely having a first dance with a spot light. We will even have dry ice (my fiancé REALLY wanted it when he found out our Entertainment company offered it).


    My dad passed away 5 years ago, but I still want to do something in place of a father-daughter-dance. My uncle will be walking me down the aisle and he has agreed to share this dance with me. About 9 years ago a song came out that my dad insisted would be our song at my wedding, so I decided I want to honour him by going through with the dance.

    Keeping. My future mother-in-law informed us she has already picked her Mother-Son dance song, so that decided this for us! haha

    We will for sure be doing this. I love the idea of it. We get married in less than 60 days and still have to pick a song. Yeeeek!

    Skip. My FH is extremely shy and has had knee replacement surgery. We won't be having dancing at our wedding for that reason.

    Keep. Nothing fancy though, we just swayed. There was not a dry eye in the house when we each danced with our parents.

    We've never danced together so this will be our first dance officially together. He is still protesting about having anymore dances but I know his mom is dying to dance with her son more than anything and I'm trying my dang hardest to calm him and take away his worry. We have just under a year and I'm keeping the faith!!!

    First dance with both my spouse and parents. It's a nice way to have some one on one time away from all the guests
