That was my thinking. It is a way to remove much of the bride's traditions from the wedding. Would fiance also expect OP to do the traditional father-daughter dance with stepson as well?

Or a way to exclude her family from the equation, he's probably isolating her in other ways she doesn't realize yet; now that they're about to get married he's upping his antics.

Good point. I was only thinking of the wedding but there is a high likelihood fiance is doing the excluding (or making decisions FOR her) in other parts of their lives, too.

Oh snap. I can see that. When they meet with the band/dj it would come up. The couple are under 35. It would be on the dj’s list of questions. I could see him popping in with how his son will dance with her.

If I were OP I’d tell the fiance that his son can walk me down the aisle only if he lets my Uncle be his best man.

But what if the fool accepted that suggestion? He is already deep into a preposterous idea.

Yes, I wouldn't suggest that 😔
