DH & I had a first dance but since I am not on good terms with my father, we opted to skip the Father-Daughter & Mother-Son dances. Later in the evening, Mr Rugbee grabbed his mum & they danced together but it was much more low-key (which she appreciated aswell). Honestly, I don't think anyone even noticed that we skipped the parent dances since immediately after our dance we went straight into a traditional greek wedding dance & the evening flowed well from there.
Why would you have to forgo your first dance? Its your wedding, you can do whatever you want!
We did our first dance, and my dance with my dad, but no dance with hubs and his mom, per his request.
Nothing's "necessary" except for both of you to show up. :) If you do have dancing, I don't see why you *have* to have the parent dance. Someone might get their feathers ruffled, but I think having stepparents involved on both sides gives you an out- you'd both have too many people to dance with. Plus since your wedding is more intimate, I think that gives you more freedom to be less-traditional.
We just did the father/daughter and then we had our first dance. I don't think you have to do anything, if you want to just do your first dance but no parents' dances most people won't notice or care.

First of all, I'll be having a very small wedding where I was considering not having dancing (only 21 people). Secondly, my father wasn't a part of my life and neither was my fiance's mother in his life. We both have step parents which have been involved.Is it necessary to have the dancing with the parents?
If we exclude it, then we will have to also exclude our first dance. I dont consider myself to go along with traditions, but I dont want to regret anything.
Thoughts?!
