Father daughter dance

[Deleted User]

My parents are still together & my dad has always been in my life. However, we have never really had a close relationship. (I was def never a "daddy's girl") I would even describe our relationship as socially awkward. Therefore, I feel a father daughter dance would be a bit awkward for the both of us (this is me assuming). My fiance, however, thinks it's a great idea! He thinks I should go out on a limb & do it, & it may give my father & I a chance to actually "connect" a bit. Any advice?? :-/

You should only do it if you want to.  It sounds like it's important to your FI though, so you might want to think about doing it for that reason.

I'm in your same situation and can't really imagine being in such close proximity to my father (as weird as that sounds).  I think we're going to forego all the individual dances entirely.

I think you should talk to your Dad about it. If you're both on the same page with it, then skip it. But if it's something that means a lot to your Dad, then you could at least do half a song with him & have the DJ fade it out so you're not awkwardly dancing with him for 4 minutes.

I would definitely check with your dad and see how he feels about it as well.  If he really wants to then perhaps the two of you could attend a dance class or two.  That way it prob. won't be as akward on the actual day.

Good luck whichever way you choose.
