Traditional dances

Its a thing for sure and we did that for our reception. Mother/Sons dance that will be once in a lifetime memory to look back on our video.

Yeah people def do a groom and mom dance!!! do one if he wants to do it!

We are definitely doing a mother/son dance. My FH is my MIL favourite son (she has 4 boys, but it's obvious lol he's her golden child) he's also the first to get married, although not first to be engaged. We aren't doing a father/daughter dance as he's not in the picture, although I have a feeling my mom would want me to dance with her FH. I'm probably gonna dance with both my boys at that time

It's definitely a thing! The groom's parents are just as integral as the bride's in my opinion. What we're doing is while I dance with my dad, FH will dance with his mom, and then we'll swap half way through and I'll then dance with FH's dad while FH dances with my mom. It might be a little clunky but we didn't want to have 4 different dances and take up all that time to get the rest of the guests involved with the dancing.

Absolutely a thing! More than a dance where both parents dance at least - never heard of that before....

Me and my Dad danced to the same song that my DH and my MIL danced to: Slow Down by Nichole Nordeman

Yep. Absolutely it is. We’re doing it

I love that! And because it's special to you, you'll remember it always!

View quoted message Thank you. I love that advice at the end. I will live by it for my wedding planning. That advice also helps with me picking mine and my dads song. Its a non traditional wedding song and I was worried what people would think. I want it to be You've Got a Friend in Me. My FH wants to do a mother son dance so I quess we will!

I feel like...if you want it to be a thing - than absolutely! I've been to weddings where the father/daughter dance happened alongside the mother/son and some where there wasn't anything like that. I think if it's something you FH wants, than go for it! My FH was raised by a single mom, and we've been contemplating the idea as well, because I know it would mean a lot to her. Someone gave me some advice early on that i've been trying to remember as we plan. Don't do things in your wedding because you think you should, or to make others happy. Its you and your spouse's day, mix it up, break traditions, do whatever you want to make it the most memorable for you!

My fiance isn't thrilled with the idea of extra time in the spotlight but I know his mom would love this. But so would each of his grandmother's and that is adding a lot of time and attention to the night.
We talked about having him and his mom dance during my dance with Dad but the song doesn't really work. So to remove a little of the pressure and keep the night from dragging on we're not scheduling those dances but putting the songs in the playlist so we can invite our parents up to dance on a (hopefully) packed dancefloor.
