    I need some help please. My world turned upside down when my stepdad left my mam. They were living in Tenerife, he came back to the UK for gig in Newcastle, and didnt go back, leaving her stranded. Needless to say they are no longer together, and he is no longer coming to the wedding. I have asked my mam to give me away and she said yes :) however Im stuck on first dance now, do me and mam have a first dance?? If so what kind of songs would appropriate?? We are both kinda rock chicks, but my OH does like rock! I did suggest starting off with a nice slow dance song then it suddenly change to AC/DC type thing! But my hairstyle just would not work, plus OH said no

    Im stuck!!

    You can have your first dance with your hubby and you mum would dance with a male from his side.

    Im being pestered if im having a father daughter dance and tbh I had never heard of it mine and my dads song is Van Morrisosn Brown eyed girl not sure the band could sing it but its not a song we dance to me and my dad kinda go a bit wild with it abd act like loonies so would be more appropriate later in the evening.

    All we had was our first dance then the father daughter dance straight after, no one else joined in with the special dances, they were two dances especially for me and hubby then me and my dad.

    I don't see any problem with having your first dance with your h2b then straight after its just you and your mum dancing to whatever song you both love dancing to, it's no one else's business what you both choose to dance to and you'd be perfectly entitled to have a special dance just you and your mum.
