Help! Father-bride dance

Hi all,
My wedding is Saturday and I need help deciding on a father-bride dance song. One of my bridesmaids got married last week and she and her dad danced to the song that I had been 90% sure I was going to use (I Loved Her First). The other top choice I had was the same song my dad and I danced to at my Sweet 16 (Butterfly Kisses).
So, do I keep with I Loved Her First and see if my friend is ok with that, do I choose Butterfly Kisses because it is consistent with my 16th bday, or do I choose a new song?? I don't want to take away from my friend and her dad. My dad and I have a great relationship and I want to find the right song.

Suggestions?

    Choose a song that will be special and have meaning for you and your dad. Don't worry if your friend just used it in her wedding. So what. Pick what you want.

    If you're looking for another option check out Walk With You by Edwin McCain. It's a great father-bride dance song if you have a good relationship with your father.

    I agree - pick what you want, it doesn't matter if your friend and her dad used it.  And "Walk With You" is a really beautiful song!

    I agree with this because it was a song you have wanted. You shouldn't have to change something that you already wanted just because some else happened to do it shortly before you did.

    The song we are using if are looking for other options is "Cinderella" By Steven Curtis Chapman.

    What you need is one of my custom made songs.
    Problem solved!
    It'll say exactly what you want to say.
    Nothing says it better than a song.
