Father/Daughter Dance

Seventh Anniversary First Comment
in October 2014 Weddings
Hey everyone, long time lurker, first time poster.

I've started seriously thinking about my music choices, and am trying to decide on a song for the father/daughter dance.

My dad and I have a wonderful relationship, and he's done so much for me throughout my life. Instead of making the song about Daddy's little girl, I'd like to make it more of a tribute to him and how much I love him and appreciate everything he's done for me. Right now I'm thinking about Wind Beneath My Wings by Bette Midler and I Turn to You by Christina Aguilera.

Does anyone have any other ideas or suggestions?

    Honestly - I can't find anything that fits right for me and my dad at all but, I do want my father daughter dance.

    Because you loved me was the Father Daughter dance at a wedding we went to last month- first time ever I've ever seen that used, thought it was unique.

    I'm leaning towards I loved her first by heartland ( although I know some people find that song creepy), Stealing Cinderella, or I hope you dance by Leann Womack

    We're struggling with the father/daughter song too. To add to it, we're combining father/daughter and mother/son (long story, but basically my fiance doesn't dance, his mom doesn't dance, my dad doesn't dance, and all I want to do is dance). We all listen to different types of music (country, classic rock and hair bands, and hard rock). I have a feeling we're not going to have it figured out until like the day of the wedding.

    I'm in kinda the same boat with PP, my FI and I don't want to do the F/D M/S dances, my dad couldn't care less, but my FMIL wants to do the M/S dance.  So, we're combining the F/D M/S dance so that it isn't awkward.  

    No clue what song to dance to, and I haven't really looked, because it isn't a priority for me and don't care if it falls through.  Probably not a good attitude, but it' the truth.  With so many things to do, I'm doing what is important to us first.

    If I was doing a traditional wedding with the M/S F/D dance - if combined, I'd probably look at 'Landslide' by Fleetwood Mac

    If I didn't want a mushy F/D song - though it might be kind of weird, I'd probably choose Frank Sinatra's 'My Way' or another Sinatra song (just something easy to dance to).

    I was having trouble with this decision too. Then I asked my dad if he had a preference and he said "Unforgettable" immediately. He's a huge Nat King Cole fan and it's what he really wanted so problem solved!

    I kind of figure I will ask my dad what he wants. I don't have a very close relationship with my dad so none of the traditional songs really work for me??

    I put my foot down and picked our song. I gave my Dad plenty of time to pick a song. I decided on Jack Johnson's "My Little Girl". I also didnt want a super sappy song as I would be bawling my eyes out.

    My grandfather and I are dancing to "Here Come's the Sun" by the Beatles because we are both Beatles fans.
