He’s Picking His Stepmom To Dance With Him At His Wedding Too, And His Mom Absolutely Lost It When She Found Out It Wasn’t Going To Be Just Her

A 29-year-old guy is right in the middle of planning his upcoming wedding, and one recent detail he had to decide on was who he was going to choose for his mother-son dance.
His mom and dad got divorced back when he was 5-years-old, and the divorce happened because his dad ended up falling in love with a woman named Alice.
His dad has always maintained that he waited until he was separated before he pursued a physical relationship with Alice.
While he can’t confirm or deny that, he doesn’t feel that he really needs to know the truth. When he turned 7, Alice married his dad and moved in with them.
Alice and his dad then went on to have his 2 siblings within the following 4 years.
“My parents had split custody, and Alice was 100% a mother figure to me,” he explained. “We are very close, she’s been there for me for every tough moment of my life.”
“She also helped pay for my college and grad school, which I’m extremely appreciative of. My mom is a good mom, but we’ve never been as close as I am with my dad and Alice. Our personalities are just very different.”
Because he is so incredibly close to Alice, he feels it would be wrong not to include Alice in his wedding.
He is planning on doing a traditional mother-son dance with his mom, but then he also asked Alice if she would do a dance with him too.

Alice was so touched that she ended up sobbing when he asked her. She, of course, said yes, and he’s thrilled.
Unfortunately, is mom is way less than excited, and when she did find out that he asked Alice to dance with him too, she absolutely lost it.
His mom accused him of trying to replace her just like his dad did.
“I told her it’s not a replacement, but she’s been so supportive of me my entire life, and I consider her a true “bonus mother,” so I don’t want to exclude her,” he said.
“She doesn’t want to accept that. Yesterday my aunt (mom’s sister) called me and ripped me a new one. I know it’s a little controversial, but in my heart, it’s what I really want to do.”
He has been to weddings in the past where the bride or groom had two mother-son dances or two father-daughter dances, and he always thought it was a great touch.
He is planning to shorten the songs he picked for his dance with his mom and Alice so nothing will be too lengthy, but he’s still not sure if it’s mean for him to be picking both of them to dance with him in the first place.
Do you think it’s sweet of him to have asked Alice to also be a part of his wedding in this way, or do you think he should have found another way to make her feel included?
