Hey ladies,
Wanted some input. I couldnt find anyone else who has done this before and I wanted to make sure Im not going too crazy here!
Im getting married in October of this year, ceremony will be outdoors, and there is a beautiful aisle that connects to a gazebo.
From the weddings I have attended, I never really liked the idea that the father and daughter dance was after the bride and groom dance, esp. since the father gave "is daughter away" already.
So I have been thinking to actually have my Dad and fiance stand at the gazebo and I'll walk down the aisle to the gazebo and have my father and daughter dance and THEN my dad can give me away to my fiancee.. and then the Ceremony begins!!
Im getting married at Reflections at Butte in Tuscon AZ. If you google the pictures, that will kind of give you an idea of what Im envisioning..
I think hving my father-daughter dance will be more special.
Let me know what you ladies think. I wont take offense to anyone who thinks i've gone nuts! lol
Re: Father Daughter Dance before actual Ceremony...
It's not a statement of belonging, it's a statement of relationship. You won't stop being your dad's daughter just because you got married.
This is a really odd idea and as a guest, I would find it ridiculous.
If anything, that's why the father daughter dance is so poignant to many people. It shows that he'll always be your father and you'll always be his daughter, regardless of any other relationship you have with another man.
Too be blunt... You're putting your own meanings behind these dances. The father daughter dance is JUST a dance. It's a moment for them to share. It has zilch to do with who you "belong to."
