Father/Daughter Dance

My father passed away when I was 16, but I'd still like to have a special dance during that time. I don't want people thinking I'm trying to replace my father, but I'd like to honor some other important people in my life.

    None of the above.  Skip the father-daughter dance.

    Are you close with your mother, or just trying to fill in where that since usually goes? My parents divorced when I was young and I lived with my mom for most of my young life. I still have a relationship with my dad, but my mom and I are super close, so we are doing a mother/daughter dance.

    I think that the mother/daughter dance sounds great. I also like the idea of having a special dance with your brother. Whichever you decide will be sweet and sentimental to you, and that's what matters.

    It's okay to have dances with everyone you want to honor, but don't do them as spotlight dances where nobody else gets to participate, or you'll annoy your guests by keeping them sitting down and not able to actively participate for too long.

    But a mother/daughter dance sounds very nice.

    We're skipping spotlight dances. FI will just make sure to have a special dance with his mom during the night when her favorite song is playing.
