Anyone else not having a first dance?

Not sure we'll have one. Our wedding is only small, 31, and there's likely only a handful of us that will dance anyway. But we will dance. The music will be our fave music, Dance and the like and we will deffo be up bopping, but there will not be a set first dance. One of our favourite songs is David Guetta and Kelly Rowland When Love Takes Over and we will dance to that as we always do.

I'd just say to your mum yes there'll be a first dance and then just leave it at that, then on the day/evening play it by ear. Have a piece that you recognise as your first dance but just get up and dance if you feel like it, don't make a big thing of it and don;t tell mum what it is. Hopefully then she'll stop asking and just allow events to happen on the day without any fuss. Time will run on and the moment will pass without you having to do something you don't feel comfortable doing.

Me and OH are also not that kind of couple we arent doing any kind of formal traditional things and probably wont do that, Ill probably want to dance to the music because I will have picked it and like it all but I will not be having an announced first dance all eyes on us they whole idea makes me feel awkward!

We're not having one.

There's only 14 guests at our wedding and after the meal we're just having drinks in the hotel bar so not having a 'reception' as such and really don't feel the need to parade about infront of everyone. I thought it was a daft idea when I first got married (200+ evening guests) and I still think it's unnecessary.

Do what you're comfortable with, we are having 2 technically, I'm from the highlands and traditionally we do a wedding reel as our dance, which incorporates our best man and bridesmaid, then we will do a "first dance" as a couple. But thats what we want to do, so just do what you're happy to do.

We're not having one. We have 70+50 guests. We spent about 18 months trying to find a song that we both liked and we could both dance to before we decided we really didn't care enough about a first dance enough to bother having one.
