The Bride and Groom have the first dance together; then the bride dances with her father and then her father-in-law; the groom dances with his own mother and then his new mother-in-law.

After that the bride dances with her father (this can be separate and only the father and daughter dance together ... a suggestion for a wonderful song is 'Butterfly Kisses' and pretty much states the relationship between father and daughter) then comes the dance with the father-in-law and the groom dances with his mother and mother-in-law as other guests join in.
The bride can slow dance with any guest that asks her, but she should only dance very close with her groom. Dance with the guests as you would a stranger that asked you to dance. She can dance closer with her father.
It is up to the groom with the help of his bride-to-be to choose a mother and son dance.
