After trying without success to set up all the dances (me and my brother, i have no father and my brother doesnt want to do the dance. My fiance dance with my mother because his mother has passed and my mom not wanting to dance) So i just realize that i dont want to go through all that stress and just cutting all the dances and having only our first dance. Anybody else doing this? Just curious. Thanks in advance
 
You should Youtube this. There are some people that have started off with traditional dancing and then just transitioned into something funny like baby got back. Check it out, its pretty awesome!
 
I think it's awesome...your wedding is just that, YOUR WEDDING. A day for YOU TWO. Keep that in mind in all your planning. I think people get too caught up in tradition, impressing people, not upsetting people, etc. Your wedding day is YOUR day. Do what makes you comfortable.

FYI My father is a douche bag who I am no longer in contact with. On my wedding day for the father daughter dance, my groom will instead be asking my mother to dance. She won't know, so she can't decline. *lol*
 
We didn't even consider doing any of that. Instead of trying to fit ourselves into someone else's mold of what makes a wedding, we made it our own by observing the traditions that were meaningful to us, and leaving the rest behind. There was no bouquet toss ot bridal party and nobody gave me away. I did get to walk down the aisle hand in hand with my groom, though, which was great, because we're in this together all the way, and instead of some friend signing as our witnesses, our 2 mothers signed which feels a whole lot more special to me.

You do the things that feel right for you, and don't worry about the rest.
 
I had a very small wedding outdoors and only family and very close friends attended (about forty or so). The only dance we did was the first dance for the bride and groom (which we did twice because the stereo wasn't working right). Then we left the music playing for whomever wanted to listen to it or dance (we had to dance on the lawn of the location).
