This isn’t me it’s more DH we married 15 years ago, during our first dance BIL and his fiancé joined us uninvited on the dance floor. DH brings it up and feels it was bad manners other family members said how nice it was of them to join in. Who’s right?

It was rude but 15 years later and he hasn't let it go? 😳

What has your BIL said about it?

I thought it was normal for people to join the couple? Any wedding I've been to the couple are on their own for about a minute and then close family, bridal party, friends etc are roped in to join.

Either way 15 years is a really long time to hold bitterness over something like this.

Had you practised a special show dance Strictly-style?
Or were you just shuffling round in a circle?

Makes a difference....

We had a barn dance so everyone joined in Grin

I find it rude as I thought the couple would first dance by themselves and then invite others to the dance floor. Your DH must have been hurt by it badly if he still brings it up 15 years later.

Ooooh that would have pissed me off. (wouldn't have said anything)

15 years later would i still be seething a bit ......

yes 😂

Everyone probably needs to let this go, nobody is right or wrong, it’s a dance ffs. It’s not like he joined you at the altar and said his own vows.

Impossible to say without being there.

It is fairly normal for the couple to do a bit of a shuffle and then others join them, so doesn’t sound unreasonable necessarily.

Either way, I think he needs to get over it 15 years later.
