Does anyone know if it is traditional for the

bride's parents to have a dance at the wedding. My Mom seems to think that she and my dad are suppose to have a song that they dance to alone at our wedding.

I don't think that I've ever seen it done....but you can start your own tradition....there don't seem to be anymore 'rules' to follow

Never seen it but if you want it for them than do it.

I don't know if it is a tradition, but my parents are going to do it. They want to dance to the song 'Grow Old With Me.' It's a really beautiful song, and I would love to take a moment to honour them for everything they've done for me recently with the wedding and throughout the course of my life.

Just a quick question, will you be having both sides parents dance to a special song, because I have a feeling (I was going to do an anniversary dance for my parents, they will celebrate 27 yrs when we get married) my FH's sides might get a little upset???

At my sister's wedding, and I plan to do this at mine, my sister dedicated my parents' wedding song to them...it wasn't a spotlight dance, but they did dance, and so did everyone else! I'm going to do this for both sets of parents at my wedding!

i don't know about tradition, but we are thinking of dedicating a song or two to our parents, just in good fun and to show our appreciation. i don't know if it will be a 'solo thing', but either way i think it's something nice to do!

never heard of it but I would think it would be a little time consuming to have a dance with FI, your dad, hima nd his mom and then each of your parents. Its hard to keep peoples attention for that long.

That's my same issue too, if I do it for my parents my FMIL will have major issues about it..but my parents anniversay is two days after my wedding.. so I don't know how to do it..
