Father/Daughter dance with a girl singer?

swtasa

We got a band for the wedding which is yay! It's the band my father plays in, they're getting a substitute guitar player and they're doing the wedding mosty for free

In our new family tradition my dad has wrote the music for our wedding march(it was our mother's as well) my dad will sing our first dance.

However for my father daughter dance I'd rather not use my iPod, the singer of the band is female. But my sister also has a beautiful singing voice... I'd like her to sing the father/daughter dance.

Would this be weird or am I over thinking? Even if the song was written as a song from her father to her, it should be ok right?

Overthinking bigtime.

Oh yeah.  Seriously overthinking.  By your logic, NO couple should use any song because it wasn't written just for them. 

My DH danced with out DD to "I Loved Her First" by Heartland.  Uh-oh.....it was written for someone else.

Do you like the song?  Do you like the singer?  Done.

I think the OP is asking if it's ok if a female singer performs the song during the Father/Daughter dance although the song is usually sung by a male.  And yes, that would be perfectly fine. 

My late FIL did a lot of theater and was Tevya twice in porductions.  At our wedding he sang "Sunrise, Sunset."

At my daughter's wedding - she and her Dad (my husband) had their Father/Daughter dance to "Sunrise, Sunset" as a tribute to her Grandpa.  One of her female friends sang and the singer's Dad played the guitar.

Personally I would prefer going with a male singer, especially if it is from the perspective of the father. It might not sound right the other way around
