Just skip it all together if you don't have a brother. uncle etc,
just be sure to have a memorial candle there for your father

The first song should always be the bride and groom. As for the father-daughter dance, since you don't have any close male relatives, you could dance with your new father-in-law. My husband's mother died several years before we got married, so after I danced with my father, my husband danced with my mother. I talked to other people in the same situation, and several of them had danced with their new in-law. Our DJ said that's very common. You don't even have to have the father-daughter dance if you don't want to. It's your wedding, so you do what you want to do. Congratulations!!

If you have no older brother, Uncle or the such....is there a Father Figure in your life? I went to a wedding where the brides father had passed and so she danced with her sisters husband...and another one where the bride danced it with her new father in law. Just do whatever feels right and makes you happy. ya know, there is not LAW that says you HAVE to dance with anyone like this...it is totally up to YOU! Good luck and Many Blessings!

Nothing is written in stone that you have to do everything like everyone else :)
The first dance should be with your husband though.
You don't have to even have that dance, but if someone is walking you down the aisle, perhaps that is the person who is most important to you and they would be the one you might dance with.
If you like your new father in law, how about him? He will be your family. It would be a good way to bring the families together.
Anyone YOU consider an important person in your life can be the one you choose :)
Good luck and best wishes on your upcoming marriage... :)

You dont have to have a father (important male figure)/bride dance. There is no rule that this says its a must. Just have a bride/groom dance and then invite everyone else on the floor with you.

Firstly, there doesn't "have to" be a father/daughter dance at a wedding. My father had passed away two years before my wedding, so my older brother danced with me. I wish we had just skipped that part altogether, though.

The first song is with your husband. Idf you don't have a father or a close male relative, just skip it all together. You don't have to follow such cliches. You may show a slide show with pics of your dad instead.
Good luck and congratulations.

Share the dance with your mother. My father passed away too, and when my sister got married, my brother stepped in,but if you do not have a brother, your mom is the next best thing.

if you and your mom are close dance with her. or you could play a song that was special to you and your dad and have pictures of you and him on a screen!
