Mother/Son dance

Squeaker2002

My fiance and I have a son together (he's the 1st for both of us). At the time we'll be getting married, he'll be 2 years old. My question is, would it be ok to dance with him during the mother/son dance that my MIL has with my fiance? Or should I leave well enough alone and let them have thier moment?

I would let them have their moment... but maybe if you want to dance with your son do it after they are finished?

It depends. I'm sure your son is important to the two of you. He should be able to share the spotlight.

If you dance with him, I'm sure your FMIL will not care if her grandson is getting attention and she isn't. But, you may want to discuss your plans with her to make sure that her feelings don't get hurt.

Or, you could just do two different songs, and dance with your son afterwards.

Just make sure that he has a big part in the big day. The wedding should be about the three of you being a family.

Don't dance with a 2-year old.  In theory, it's cute.  In reality, it's Aw-ish.  Let them have their moment.  You will have plenty of time to dance with your son throughout the night.

I agree with everyone else, they deserve to have their moment. If you want to have your own mother/son dance afterwards go for it, or wait until its actually his wedding and have a traditional mother/son dance. You can make sure your son is involved all night and feels special in a million other ways, without stealing the spotlight with an adorable toddler.

That's what I was thinking. I guess I just wanted to make sure I was on the right train of though. I definetly don't want to steal the spot light from them, especially since his mother had to play both rolls after his father passed away. Thanks guys.

And yeah, i'll have plenty of chances to dance with my son throughout the reception.

What I've seen done is the dance starts with the mother/groom, and then after a minute or two, the dj announces that all mother/sons should join and share the dance.

I am with meladoriestar on this one.  Friends of ours were married a few years ago and they had 2 sons, he and his mom picked a 4 minute song (too long for me) so they split it.  They took the first maybe minute then the DJ announced Jackson and Nathan coming onto the dance floor with their mom and they had a family dance.
