Father daughter dance??

I can't wait to dance with my dad! Sod everyone else if they get bored, me am my dad have been through thick and fin and I'm having my one last dance with him before I go off into married life where another man will be taking care of me even though we have been together 8 years!

Our song is 'I loved her first' and it's so me and my dad!

OH dosnt know but he's having a mother son dance as when she found out about mine and my dad's dance she asked OH if their having a dance and he shot her down. She bought him up on her own and has been such a support to him and us, so we have arranged a song and sent it to the DJ. He will find out when the DJ calls them both up to dance. I think the reason he didn't want to as he hates being the centre of attention when sober but once he's had a drink he's more then happy to be, so he will love it in the end.

Forgot to add, we're doing mine and OH's ten mine and my dad's then his and his mums.

OMG I've just listened to that song and I'm in floods of tears already!! Imagine what I'd be like on the day! It's beautiful.... I think I definitely want to do one, it would be so lovely! Just need to stop being so emotional ha!

Haha it is beautiful! I sent it to my mum an dad and they sobbed like babies, that's when I knew it was perfect!

Iv got 19 days to go ( still feels odd it's ONLY 19 days wahhhh) and I can't listen to any of the important wedding music! God knows what I'll be like on the day, I'm not a public cryer so I'm going to have to pull it together!

Oh and the song for my Oh and his mum is 'my wish' it's amazing!

Aw not long to go now then!! We've got 61 days to go....can't wait! Think I'll mention the dance to my dad then and see what he thinks!:-)

I can't wait for my dance with my Dad. He's giving me away, but has dementia, so my two sons will also be with him to give me away. They'll back Dad up if he needs help, & make sure he's ok.

Our dance is a real oldie, one he remembers, & when we chose it, just after midnight on New Years Morning , we danced together to it then. My mum and my darling man were there, & it was just a lovely impromptu moment, one I'll always treasure.

Xx

I'm sure your dad would love to dance, who wouldn't love to dance with their daughter! Hope you manage to sort it, I won't be missing it for the world!! X

I will be dancing with my Dad. He is my best friend! He had already decided years ago that he wants to dance to 'everything I do' by Bryan Adams, because when I was a toddler, it was my favourite song, and I used to try and sing along to it to my Daddy :-)

Gawd he is a soppy git! Can't wait hehehe!

I'll be dancing with my dad and he's pretty excited about. Heard him talking about it with my mum and then he started listening to songs so he could choose which one to dance with me to. He's even told other family members about it and let them listen to the song.

My mum also wants to have a dance with me. I'm thinking of getting other guests to join in and dance so that they don't get so bored.

I hope one day when my daughter gets married she will want to do a father/daughter dance too. Right now she's a teenager so most days I'm lucky to get a grunt. In fact I just got told off for singing.

I have the song picked out already!

I couldn't choose between my dad and my step dad! I danced with my grandad! One of my favorite memories from the wedding! It was a total surprise for him. He had requested I dance with him at some point but I had specifically chosen 'wonderful tonight' by Eric Clapton because he used to sing it to me when I was little! Here is a couple of pics..

Do it - who cares if your guests get bored (which they won't) - you can't get memories like this everyday!

Aww, lovely photos, Slou!

My dad died several years ago, but I would definitely definitely want to do a father/daughter dance if he were still here. Bizarrely, at my first wedding, I don't think we did one. No idea why....perhaps no one suggested it, or it wasn't such a popular thing. We are talking 25 years ago, so we didn't have the benefit of Hitched back then to tell us of all these things we should be doing!

But, oh how I would love to dance with him this time round. So I would say DO IT, to anyone wondering whether they should or not. No one will get bored, and memories will be made!

After our first dance, OH and I are planning a Family Dance for us and my kids (aged 19 and 20)....something we will no doubt work on and coreograph in a moment of madness at some point!! (wine may be involved - for me at least!!)

My dad would HATE it. Like me, he doesn't like a lot of attention, and I've never seen him dance. It's no reflection on our relationship, he just wouldn't do it.

We won't plan anything formal, and I won't ask the guests to watch, but we will have a father daughter dance to a specific song which we will ask our band to play.

It's "Only the Good Die Young" which is both of our favourite Billy Joel song - he used to play it in the car when I was little, but it wasn't til I went to Uni and bought 'Piano Man' for myself that we swapped notes and realised we had the same favourite.

It's not a traditional slow song, but it's very us!

Awww both me & my dad cant wait to dance together! Not sure what order we will do it yet. Ive narrowd the song choice down to The Temptations- my girl & Celine deon- because you loved me

That's a good point, Bill...we are having 2 live band "hours" - one before the buffet and one after and I think a lot of weddings do similar. Perhaps any father/daughter dances could kick off the second set much the same as the first dance kicks of the first set. (if that makes sense!)

Our "Family" dance is likely to be something cheesy, like the Grease Megamix or similar, which will automatically get everyone up and dancing, so no need for us to worry about people itching to get on the dancefloor.....we will be dragging them up!!

I'm definately having a dance with my dad! We are having the acoustic version of Forever Young by Rod Stewart. Memories of growing up with my dad always listening to rod stewart!

I didn't want to the the formal father/daughter dance with everyone watching so me and my dad just had a dance at some point in the evening. I have no idea what song was playing ut it was lovely.
