FH's aunt-son dance?

My FI's mom died a few months ago and his father may be moving back in town soon. He was not very close with either of them. He's lived with his aunt since he was 6, but he is very strong and independent. My question is, would it be appropriate for him to do a dance with his aunt instead, even if they aren't as close as when he was little? I already have to have two father/steapfather/daughter dances, making it a little untraditional, but I'm not sure if he should still do a dance. Wouldn't it be weird if I did my 2 dances and he did none?

    No, it wouldn't be weird.  But, I think this is best answered by your FI.  What does he want?

    She's definitely like a mother to him. It's just hard for me to picture her dancing because she's one of those very laid back animal-loving women that rarely wears dresses. He said she'll most likely wear a dress, so I'm pretty excited.

    Definitely go with whatever he wants.  Just because you have several dances doesn't mean he's obligated to have one.  My father is deceased but I don't plan on doing any uncle/niece dance just because my fiance will dance with his mom.  I don't have any relatives I feel close enough to for that, though.
    Plus, if you're doing anything like the all-bridesmaids then all-groomsman dance, money dance, etc he won't be left out either way.
