Hi all. I'll cut right to it. My Dad passed away from a sudden heart attack so will not be at my wedding. My Dad was the glue of our family and as the only girl out of four children, I was very close to him. As I plan my wedding I am realizing how hard it is to think of not having him there to walk me down the aisle, dance with me, plan with my Mom and I, etc. For the ceremony my two older brothers will be walking me down the aisle and a poem will be read in his honor. The thing I go back and forth on is the "father daughter dance." My mom would like me to do a dance with my three brothers, an idea that I truly love. However, the song we initially envisioned ("To Where You Are" by Josh Groban) is so freakin' sad. My sister in law pointed out that the day is going to be hard enough as it is without him there so a different song might be better. I was wondering if any of you have gone through something similar and what you did instead. I do want to do the song with my brothers but was thinking something more along the lines of "Lean on Me" or "What a Wonderful World." Thank you!
