Bride/Brother Dance-Need suggestions!

Hello,

 My father has never been in my life, so my brother and I will be dancing together in place of the traditional father/daughter dance. We are having difficulty coming up with a song and would very much appreciate suggestions. I have looked through lists of typical father/daughter dance songs, but those do not really work for our relationship. We are looking for something fun and a little more upbeat..Thanks!

    My fiance and his sister are really close, so they want to have a dance, and she wants to use "My Wish" by Rascal Flatts.  Not sure if it works for you and your brother, but it's a great song!

    Is there a song from your childhood?

    My best friend used Rainbow Connection from the Muppet Movie while my cousin used I hope you Dance by LeeAnne Womack.  The first is because her brother does a great Kermit impersonation.  The second was because their parents forced them to take dancing lessons and they always ended up dancing to really sap love songs in class...not the thing you want to dance to with your brother at 12.

    Thank you for all of the suggestions! "My Wish" by Rascal Flatts would work well for us, but my FMIL already chose that song for the mother/son dance Frown. I have never heard that Lady Antebellum song, but I like it a lot. The only song with some significance is "Jeremiah Was a Bullfrog," because my brother's name is Jeremy and we thought it was hilarious as kids..not sure if that would be appropriate though.

    This may work for you - it is called "What I Want You to Know" by JKD. It's on iTunes (here's the link to preview it)

    I believe it was actually written by a dad for his daugther for her wedding day. But it could work for brother bride as well!
