Speak to your father in advance
There are some brides who like to surprise their fathers on the wedding day by asking them to dance with them. This strategy will definitely bring a sudden smile on your father’s face, which is probably the most precious thing.
However, if you really want to enjoy the dance and make it an amazing memory for the guests as well, you must do your homework. While planning for the wedding, you should talk to your father and ask him if he would be comfortable dancing in front of others. You may try to convince him in case he shows any kind of reluctance because the wedding is one of the most important days of your life. -
