Father Daughter Dance Song

Hello everyone :) So I've been really thinking a lot about the music I want at our reception and I keep getting stuck on the father-daughter-dance song. My dad is an older guy (67) so current music is definitely out and I know it just wouldn't really represent my dad well. I think we've bonded significantly over what my fiance would call "old people music". In fact, I was named at the Beatles' song "Michelle" so would it be cheesy or egocentric if our dance was to that very song?

    I'm not familiar with that song, but my thought is it would be fine!

    To give you another idea, my dad and I danced to Wonderful World, but the Michael Buble version.  An older song, a current artist.....it worked well for us.
  • My cousin Michelle danced with her father to that song at her wedding. It was great.
  • What a great song!  
  • Thanks for the input guys :) One less thing to worry about!

    I've never heard that one, but assuming the lyrics aren't about a breakup or something depressing, I don't think it'd be tacky at all. Green light!

  • I'm also named after that song and love the idea! We are dancing to "in my life" by the Beatles otherwise I would have considered michelle as well :)
