Awkward bridesmaid in dance!?

Question

Hello! I am having a small bridal party for my wedding. I have 1 MOH and 2 bridesmaids. One bridesmaid (my little sister) is only 13 and my Future husband has 1 BM and 2 GM's the GM she will be paried with for walking is 25 and really tall. Should i just not have a bridal party dance? Should i make her dance with him. I think she will feel really awkward. What would you do. And i DO NOT want to add anyone else to the party. I like that its small. What would you do???????? Thanks

Answer 1

Options:

Skip the bridal party dance all together (people don't really care anyhow)

Don't make  your little lister dance with anyone

Let people dance with their own dates

Forcer her to dance and deal with the sass you'll get from her

Answer 2

Why not make it cute....if he is that tall why doesn't he get on his knees to dance with her?

Answer 3

For our first dance, we allowed our wedding party to dance with their spouses/dates. Why not do the same, and your dad or another family member can dance with your sister, so she won't feel weird?

Answer 4

do the dance with you and your hubby, then let your bridal party choose if they want to dance to their own partners

Answer 5

I hate those things!

Why would you force someone to dance with someone they barely know.

That's why we allow them to bring dates.  They should be allowed to dance with their dates.

Answer 6

I have never heard of a bridal party dance before so I dont think you need one.

Answer 7

I don't see what is awkward about it.

I think it would be cute if they dance together. The only awkwardness would come from your making them uncomfortable about how they look.

Answer 8

I have this same problem. I'm 14 and going to be in my aunts wedding on Saturday, and it's me and the MOH, well the GM I'm paired with, is the MOH's husband. Yea.

But it's all good. Just make sure that she's comfortable with him, if she feels awkard, and there's someone closer to her age, just let her dance with them, like a trade.

Answer 9

why don't they just bring their own dates and they can dance with who they fell comfortable with.  or just don't have a wedding party dance,  just have a first dance btwn you and your future husband.  good luck

Answer 10

As someone who has been a bridesmaid many times, I've always despised the big bridal party dance.  I am only 5'1 and the last guy I was paired with was 6'4....no real age difference, but we looked ridiculous dancing together.  I would skip it for your little sister's sake, plus it's really not needed or expected at a wedding anyway.  I know at 13, I would have been mortified to have to dance at all, let alone with a guy almost twice my age.

Answer 11

personally, i felt ridiculus in the bridal party dances i had to do.  i think all attendants feel ridiculus in them. if you don't mind skipping it i'm sure they'd all be thrilled to not have to do it.

Answer 12

Just still have the dance - they can handle things for one song, don't worry about it. Perhaps she can practice with you, your dad, or an older brother, a bit beforehand.

Answer 13

All wedding traditions are optional. You don't have to have a bridal party dance - most people don't. Or you can have the members of the bridal party dance with their significant others - your sister could dance with your dad, or a cousin/friend close to her age that she's comfortable with. They don't have to be members of the bridal party, just guests at the wedding who are attending anyway. But if she's shy and uncomfortable about it regardless, just let her know that she doesn't have to dance, you're just glad she's in the wedding!
