The groom should be able to dance with whomever he wants, he can stray from tradition and have a father son dance. Some old-fashioned beliefs say formal dancing should only be between opposite sexes but we don’t believe in that. If the groom has a close relationship with his father, they should be able to have a moment together on the big day.
