Both of my sisters had a mother/daughter dance and I am going to too! I am going to use the song Never Alone by Sara Evans and Jim Brickman. I think Lady Antebellum has a version of it with Jim Brickman also.
@MeganTacky2247: I've never seen it done, but I think that if your mother raised you and is one of the most important people in your life, go for it. You shouldn't have to give up the parent/daughter dance just because you don't have a father in your life.
If you feel like it would be kind of awkward (going off what you said about having never danced with each other before), do you have a male cousin or brother who is important to you who you would want to dance with? A good friend of mine lost her dad to cancer last year and had her favorite cousin dance with her in place of the father/daughter dance.
That was my same situation with my father. I ask my mom if she wanted to have a dance with me and let her pick the song. It was a special moment for us both, we didn't dance the whole time to the song, the DJ said that we can just give him a "look" when we were ready to stop and it worked out fine.
My mother and I arent actually that close. And I am pretty close to my grandfather. I gave consideration to dancing with him. But My mom can get "cranky" and Im trying to figure out if she would have a tantrum if I didnt dance with her. Thats also the reason I have considered ruling it out. lol.
But at least I know there are some other people out there who have done it. :)
Maybe you could just "dedicate" a song to her or just give a small toast to her, to give her some recognition?
I am walking down the isle with her. Bc she got upset when I said that I wanted to do it alone. Plus im sure I will be happy the day of, ya know.
But deff a toast.
Just thinking about this stinkin dance. haha.
@MeganTacky2247: I think if you want to dance with your grandpa but your mom is walking you down the aisle, that would be totally fine!
I think it would be really sweet to have a dance with your grandpa and just dedicate a song to your mom. Once you dedicate the song it may turn into a mother/daughter dance though...
Besides my sisters weddings, I have never been to one where there is a mother/daughter dance. I would look like the bad daughter if I didn't do it though since both of my sisters did it! :)
hi bees im at a loss as if i should do a mother daughter dance or do a tribute to my father. i lost my father 11/8/07 my FI and i have talked about me walking alone with a pictute of my dad in my flowers or carrying a framed picture of him with me. i have tme to decide but want others imput on this matter
If you want to dedicate a song to your mother... Mamas Song by Carrie Underwood is perfect...
I was at a wedding where the bride danced with her mother for her dance and it was beautiful, a lot of people were in tears, including myself. They danced to Martina Mcbride- In My Daughter's Eyes.
I lost my dad to a heartattack in 2002 when I was 17, and since then I had said that I would either ask my dad's youngest brother (whom I'm closest to and who looks a ton like my dad) or my godfather to walk me down the aisle. Then a few years ago, my godfather passed away from stomach cancer.
Since my dad passed my mom and my sister and I got even closer than we already were and my mom is my very best friend. After my godfather passed I told my mom that I would want her to walk me down the aisle. And when I got engaged I asked her again. I also plan to pin a picture of my dad to my bouquet so he can help walk me down the aisle.
I have also planned, since day one of Wedding Planning, to have a Mother/Daughter dance instead of the Father/Daughter dance. And I chose "Mama's Song" by Carrie Underwood. I cry every time I hear it. Now that I'm reading these responses though, I might ask my mom if she would prefer "In my Daughter's Eyes" by Martina, I know it's one of my mom's favorite songs. Hmm.
Long story short, I don't think that a Mother/Daughter Dance would be weird. But, if you're not that close with your mom then I'd say do a dance with your grandpa. I wish mine was still around, count yourself lucky! :)
I'm also thinking of doing a mother/daughter dance as my Dad is also not in the picture. Mum has always been there for me, she's my best friend! I'd love to do something special for her.
FutureMrsNee - Mama's Song by Carrie Underwood is what I am going to use. It's a lovely song, also brings on my tears!

Sorry, there are no users yet.
So, I as the bride do not have a father. He is just not in the picture. My mother raised me and now things have come down to details with the wedding.
Should I do a mother daughter dance?? I mean, I have never danced with my mother before. I think its kinda weird. BUT - have any of you bees done this?? What the heck song do you use??
FI doesnt really care if we do this... like me and my mom and him and his. He isnt a stickler. lol.
