Not sure if this was covered recently but just wanted some suggestions. For those of you doing a father/daughter dance, what song did you choose. I initially chose " Isn't She Lovely" Stevie Wonder, but I am not sure if I really like that. Any other suggestions?

    I was tempted to play "Dance with my father again" and dance with FI as that both of our fathers have passed..... But it might just be too much emotion for the day.  I already really miss him and wish he were here to give me away... Im not paying $100 for make up for it to be ruined in a 4min song

    If my dad were here, it would have been "Always and Forever" because we used to dance to it when he was alive when I was a lil girl.. I know its supposed to be a "romantic" song but it was our thing

    Never heard the Carey song, but I think it would be great. You you can ask dad what song he thinks of when he sees his dance with you? Or his fav 2  MC songs.

    </div><div>Sorry to hear about your dad RealHappyGal. This is also my father and I's favorite song too. But since we are doing a Father/Daugher and Mother/Son dance at the same time, we are going to do: Be Ever Wonderful (Earth Wind & Fire)</div><div>

    I know how you feel, my FI grandmother passed 3 years ago from the disease and we just found last month his uncle has been diagnosed as well. Every moment is precious.

    Wow, That  is just beautiful. It truly made me tear up today.   I'm sure there won't be a dry eye in the house.  Continued Blessings to you and your family.
