Is Anyone Having A Dance With Their Mom?
My mom wants to have a dance with me like the father does, is this normal? She and my grandpa are walking me down the aisle so she is one the of the closest people to me, but I just want some opinions.
Thanks!!

I`m sorry, but I just think that is weird. I think that you should make a point of including her, maybe have your husband to be dance with her, or present her a rose or a special gift, plus a toast to her during the reception.

Hi, I recently went to a wedding where the bride danced with her mom! It was so sweet and made everyone cry! The mom was the only one in the gilrs life so it was very appropriate and necessary! Do not worry about what others think, just do what you want!

I have to say that my mom is the closest person in my life. Dad is still living but we are estranged. I`ve decided that I wanted to go solo down the aisle but my mom is meeting me at the end to do the offical giving away. And the mother daughter dance is VERY appropriate. If you were raised by a strong and loving single mom like I was then she deserves just as much recogination as a father. I say if you want to do it GO FOR IT. It`s your day and dont` worry what anyone else thinks.

I think the "dance with my Mom" idea is wonderful and it brings a tear to my eye just visualizing it. My daughter is getting married in July and it would make my heart happy if she would include me in this respectful and loving idea.

I also think it is a great idea. I`m going to be dancing with my mother and stepfather. Different people are important in everyone`s lives and in my opinion there is nothing weird about it. As a matter of fact, my uncle is walking me down the isle. Every person and their families are unique and your wedding should reflect how important your relationships are with those closest to you.

I definately think that is an awesome idea. I`m dancing with my Mom at my wedding and I could care less what anyone else thinks! She is the most wonderful Mother in the world and she did most of the raising singlehandedly so she should get the honor. She is also walking me down the aisle. She did the work , she should give me away. Thought she is going to whisper to my fiance, "She`s only on loan!"
I love my Mom!
