My daughter is getting married next month. Her future mother in law will not be able to dance with her son, due to a disability. My daughter however, wants to have the father/daughter dance with her dad. Any ideas on how to honor the mother/son without dancing? I don't want them to feel left out....but I don't want my daughter to miss the dance with her dad! Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!

Sorry, I should have clarified...we have asked her. She does not want to dance. I was just looking for an idea to honor her in a different way then dancing, so she doesn't feel left out..hope this helps clarify.

I would pick a song that means something to them and set up a slide show to it of the two of them from when he was young up until now... those can be real tear jerkers!!!

What sort of diasbility? Do you mean she's in a wheelchair?
You should talk to her. One of my good friends has MS and is confined to a wheelchair and I can tell you she would be more offended that you simply assumed she wouldn't want to dance. Sure she can't sit there and do a waltz but she loves to dance and does so all the time, just in a diff. way. People with disabilities want to be treated like everybody else, which includes letting it be their decision whether they want to dance or not.
If the MIL decides she doesn't want to do some sort of dance talk with your daughter about having a special moment where she presents the boquet to the MIL and thanks her for raising such a great huband for her instead of tossing it.
Instead of a boquet toss since she gave it to the MIL get some inexpensive charms. Tie ribbons to them and have the baker put them between layers of the cake with the ribbons hanging out. The single ladies can each get a ribbon and pull and find their "fortune" depending on which charm they get. (have a coin for wealth, a heart for love...that sort of thing) It also makes a great favor and keepsake.

How approximately on the factor of You via the Carpenters? Its noticeably useful, no longer too sappy, yet nevertheless says the appropriate issues. Everytime I hear it, it makes me smile. it particularly is uncommon, because of the fact ever considering that i began out making plans this wedding ceremony, every time I hear a sappy song, it makes me cry because of the fact I think of dancing to it with the two my fiance or my dad or something. So, if it would not even make me cry (and believe me, i've got been crying on the drop of a hat), it would be noticeably risk-free.

Another idea is to have her son read a poem in lieu of the mother and son dance. There are a lot of nice poems out there and maybe he coudl print it and frame it for her.

The son can give a toast to his mother, or even give her a special gift. This allows her to be recognized without dancing.

Ditto on what pspoptart said (above). My friend uses crutches but he LOVES to dance and he does it all the time. Just ask her. She may have done it before,. You'd be surprised what the "differently-abled" can do.
