Hi April brides! Wanted to get your opinions on this one...
My dad and I have a *very* strained relationship and have for many years (blame it on him cheating on my mom with her best friend... and still saying he didn't do it to this day... and yes she is coming to the wedding). We are like friendly acquaintances at best, and I see him about once every few months, and talk to him maybe once every 6 weeks--if that. It's actually fine with me, and the more I see/talk to him the more aggravated I get, so better to make our few meetings slightly good, right? Right now I'm trying to be nice because of course he offered to provide a small (keyword) amount of money towards the wedding. Despite my mom groaning about it, he will be walking me down the aisle, which being his only daughter (of 4 kids) is the least I could do.
I saw him for dinner on Sunday and asked him if he wanted to do a father-daughter dance. My dad does not dance, and at my brother's wedding 3 years ago it was possibly the awkwardest thing to see him dance with my sister-in-law (and he never asked me to dance). I kinda don't want to do a dance with him, but I know that my fiance and his mom want to do a dance (she is really excited about it and has a song picked out already).
Is it strange for a mother-son dance, but not a father-daughter dance? What are you guys doing? Is it possible for my dad and I to just crash the last minute or so of the mother-son dance without stealing my MILs thunder?
