Father-In-Law/Daughter Dance

I also lost my father at a young age (20). I have decided to have my nephew (my father`s only grandchild) to walk me down the aisle. I have decided to just leave out the father daughter dance altogether. I highly disagree that it would be unfair for you if your future husband continued with his mother/son dance. While I understand your pain of not having your own father to dance with, you have to understand that he still has his mother and deserves to dance with her no matter what. Best Wishes to you.

I am not close with my father and I did not ask him to walk me down the aisle, I`m doing that myself. So therefor I`m also not haveing the father/daughter dance. I do not feel that the dance is necessary as part of reception. I always thought it was a special moment for a father or a father figure type. With that said I don`t think you should just dance with your father-in-law just to have the dance. That is unless both you and your father-in-law want too. I don`t belive that weddings need to fit a mold. But with that said I do not believe it is fair to your FH if you ask him not to do the mother/son dance. That is a special moments for mothers also and do you really want to take that away from her. I can understand your pain but do you want to create pain for others.
