dance with your father and stepfather at your wedding
It's interesting:"'It was two days before the wedding and I finally sat down to write my toast. Low and ... Everyone at the wedding said it was the best toast they had ever heard.' ..."
Brides today come from all manner of families. They may have a father and a stepfather, been raised by two fathers, or their father is deceased. The modern bride has to decide early handle the father-daughter dance under these "-non-traditional"- circumstances. If there is a conflict between the men, one solution is to drop the dance entirely. If that's not a preferred option, the bride has to work out an arrangement with both men in advance.
Instructions
1
Speak to both men early in the wedding planning. Explain what you would like to happen, and trust that both will put aside any negative feelings in honor of your day. Hear both of them out about their concerns. Get their feedback on how they would like the dance to take place and make any adjustments you deem worthwhile.
2
Suggest to both fathers that the dance be split between the two. Pick one to start the dance with, and finish the dance with the other one. Tell them at which point in the song the switch will be made, and work this out in rehearsal.
3
Dance with both men. It may not be part of a normal tradition, but as the bride you can set your own rules. Do one short dance with the older of the two men, then do a short dance with the other man.
4
Brides raised by a male couple could dance with both at once. Put your arms around both of them and slow dance together, or have them twirl you back and forth between them.
