Weddingbee boards

My FH doesn't dance. I don't mind it, really -- he is just a very inhibited person and I wouldn't want him to do anything that would make him uncomfortable.  We do not plan on having a "first dance," because we are both uncomfortable being the center of attention.  I do, however, like to dance, and will dance with my friends.

I worry a little that it will look strange at our wedding if we don't dance at all together -- aren't the bride and groom supposed to be the ones encouraging everyone else to be on the dance floor?  Has anyone ever been to a wedding where either the bride or groom wasn't into the dancing?

My FI doesn't dance either. He is panicked about our first dance. I won't expect to see him out on the dance floor :-P. His groomsmen are the same way, lol. It might be a little odd, but I don't want him to do anything he doesn't want to. He hasn't ever dance a second of his life. Except for the times I made him fake dance with me in the kitchen :-P

@theeekingeek: Nice to know my guy isn't the only one!  We have been together four years and have never danced.  I grew up with parents who danced in the kitchen while making dinner, so the non-dancing thing was a bit odd to me at first. But it's just the way he is, and I love him anyway. :-)

@blondeeebuckeye: My family and friends are the dancing type, so I'm not too worried about people overall.  FH's family, too.  We went to his uncle's wedding a couple of years ago, and some of the cousins (including FH's 32-year-old brother) secretly asked the DJ to play that Soulja Boy song, and they all did the dance...it was hilarious.

We have talked about dance lessons, and he's not terribly enthusiastic, but we'll see how it goes.  Lessons will be required if we decide to do a first dance, because I do not want everyone staring at us for three minutes while we "sway."
