Here's a bit of context first. My fiancé doesn't like dancing nor being the center of the attention. We even considered not having any dance at all, but eventually decided against it partly because we didn't know what to do instead. When we did decide to have dancing, I automatically assumed that we were having a first dance (no other 'special dances' though). However, when I suggested a song for it, I found that he'd much rather not have a first dance (or actually, that he didn't want to dance at all during the night).
He eventually agreed to a short first dance, and we found the perfect song, which is just over 2 minutes long. Then I asked if we'd invite guests to join us during the song or after, and discovered that he never meant for us to be dancing alone. At all. Argh.
I tried to find a compromise, like dancing alone for only 30 seconds, or even 10 seconds, or inviting a few special couples to join us (like our parents). But none of this seems to work, and really I don't think our parents would agree on this, especially his parents who don't dance anymore than he does.
Do you have other ideas? I would really like to have a special time just for the two of us though.
