Is it okay to have a 1st dance, son/mother, me (bride) and my step father, and later on in the night me & my Mom.. She and I have always been so close, I feel like I should do it for her? Our wedding day is also her birthday, so we were obviously going to do happy birthday with a cupcake for her... so is that 'too much' with her birthday and a dance?
I think you should as your mom how she feels about doing the dance. She might not be comfortable with it. But the cupcake is a brilliant idea!! that would be a great surprise.
I'll probably dance with my mom at some point too. We've always had a great relationship and I think it would be a nice way to commemorate that. Just remember, all of this is totally up to you. So what if you defy tradition every once in a while. Some brides even have their mom and dad walk them down the aisle. Totally a personal preference on your part.
