father daughter dance

Hi there, I'm definately going to have a dance with my dad. Not sure when or to what song tho! Will probably do it mid way through the evening. x

Hello MrsG2B,

My friend is getting married Oct this year and she is having a father/ daughter dance their song choice is My Girl! I'm having a mother/daughter dance as my mum is giving me away but i'm not too sure what song lol it's a little off tradition ?

Good Luck for your big day I bet you are soo excited!!

We didn't have a father/daughter dance - IMO they are a bit twee, especially to things like my girl (sorry lizzyleek - sure it'll be fab for your friend)

we just made sure we had a boogie to something later in the evening, AFAIR it was to something from dirty dancing... ??

i think thats what i'll do let my dad decide.

I often get asked to do a father/daughter dance.....and occasionally a mother/son dance too. The father daughter one is traditionally done imediately after the first dance. Personally, I find they are a really magic moment, ideal photo opportunity and do go down really well.

Here's a few ideas:

Your Wedding Day - Jimmy Buckley (my favourite)

Butterfly kisses - Bob Carlisle (warning: rediculously long and awkward to cut short as it tells a story)

Slipping through my fingers - Abba

A Fathers Love - Joe Wodarek

Because You Loved Me - Celine Dion

Can You Feel the Love Tonight - Elton John

Daddy Cool - Boney M

Dance with my Father - Luther Vandross
Have I Told You Lately - Van Morrisson or Rod Stewart
Hero - Enrique Iglesias
Isn't She Lovely - Stevie Wonder
My Girl - Temptations
Unforgettable - Nat King Cole
You are the Sunshine of my Life - Stevie Wonder
You are so Beautiful - Joe Cocker
You Raise Me Up - Westlife

Thanks for the list i will give it to my dad for some ideas.

Our 2 daughters both danced with my husband at their weddings, and he choose "Isn't she lovely" by Stevie Wonder. It was recorded the year our eldest was born so it was quite apt really.
