  [QUOTE]okay, so after endlessly searching for songs for our first dance and the father/daughter dance, I've found two that I love and are perfect for us and for my dad & I.  the only problem is that I worry they are too fast/not the right tempo.  What are your opinions?  I've heard other people have used both, but we're not really dancers, so we will be doing traditional slow-dancing (probably rather awkwardly too! haha) first dance ngrid Michaelson - The Way I Am <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJOzdLwvTHA" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJOzdLwvTHA</a> father/daughter dance (nixed the Elton John idea because my dad loves Loudon and I love his kids, Rufus and Martha) Loudon Wainwright III - Daughter <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVam-fshUgw" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVam-fshUgw</a> ALSO, do you think it would be weird that the f/d song is over a minute longer than the first dance song?

  Love the Ingrid Michaelson song! Do not think it's too fast at all.
  
  I also considered doing the Loudon Wainwright song for my F/D dance. Although the chorus is a little more uptempo, I don't think it would be so fast as to be awkward to slow dance to.
  
  For your last question--not weird at all. No one will be timing them or notice. Our F/D was quite a bit longer than our first dance.
