Okay, not to give you all my life story, but my dad and I are not close, at all. That being said, I made it clear to my dad when I got engaged that he would not be walking me down the isle (my FI and I are walking each other down the isle). However my dad is ordained (sp?) so he offered to marry us and we agreed (it's free and we're on a budget, Plus I thought it would be a nice way to not kick him out of the wedding entirely). We had put on our invitations that guests should put a song request on the RSVPs for the wedding. My dad put "for the daddy/daughter dance A song for my Daughter by Marc Cohen". I'm freaking out over this. My FI and I were not going to have a father/daughter dance. I was talking to my MOH (my sister) and my FI about maybe just doing the dance so not to cause in problems if I like the song. I had even thought about doing a nice dance with hima nd then having my brother cut in (my brother has been my father figure). However, when I listen to the song, it's a very mushy song and I can't see myself dancing with him to that song. So now I need advice. Is there a nice way I could say "thanks but no thanks" or should I just suck it up and do the dance with him?
And now you're here, and everythings changing. Suddenly life means so much. I can't wait to wake up tomorrow and find out this promise is true. I will never have to go back to, the day before you." -Mathew West
