FH and his mom didn't do a mother/son dance. They have been trying to decide which song to use and she suggested that maybe they won't do it at all, since neither one of them is too sentimental about it and she isn't crazy about being in the spotlight.
I am going to dance with my dad and think it will look weird if they don't dance. I think people will make assumptions that they don't get along or something like that (Even though they do have a great relationship). What do you think?

Lulu - my FH refuses to dance with his mom....they aren't close. I was thinking of dancing with my dad and then halfway through inviting up my mom and brother, his mom and dad and sister for one big family dance.
Maybe this suggestion helps?

I dont think it would be wierd at all..if they dont care if they do it..why should anyone else! Its you wedding..you guys do what feels right! I dont think anyone would even think about it..most people want to get to the dancin themselves!

I don't think it would be weird - maybe you can break up the weirdness by having your dad hand you off to your FI after the dance and you both start a dance wher eeveryone can be on the dance floor

Maybe your FH would want to dance to something really cheesy and fun with his mom so that they don't have to struggle to find the right song. I heard of a bride who danced with her dad to 'Happy Days are Here Again'. It was really fun and kind of hokey but they didn't feel pressure to be sappy and sentimental.

I'm considering not having the parent dances because FMIL is being a biatch and FH doesn't want to do it... I don't want to have one and not the other, so I may cancel both.

My cousin was in this same predicament. The Dj called them up and played a few bars of 'Hit the Road Jack' It was very funny. They then went into 'What a Wonderful World' and asked everyone to join them. They did not dance on the dance floor alone.

DH and his mother couldn't dance because his mother is recovery from cancer surgery (she had an 8 1/2 pound tumor in her left thigh and just started walking again two weeks before our wedding). But my father and I danced and it didn't seem weird at all.
