My best friend is getting married in May and she is looking for some suggestions on a song she can do her father daughter dance to. The only song that is a no is "I loved her first" she said it's to over played. Any suggestions are appreciated!

"My Little Girl" - Tim McGraw

themrsJRD · December 2013

I danced with one dad to My Girl and the other dad to What a Wonderful World.

I second "My Little Girl" by Tim McGraw

JemmaWRX · December 2013

I danced with my a Dad to Wildflowers by Tom Petty. Nice lyrics, beautiful melody. It was personal to us but it's a great song nontheless.

Another suggestion is Daughter by Loudon Wainwright.

"God Only Knows" - Beach Boys

Turn Around by Kingston Trio

My Wish by Rascal Flatts

Cinderella by Steven Curtis chapman. I still have people say how beautiful that song was.

Jellyfish42 · December 2013

My dad and I danced to "you're my best friend" by queen. It fits our personalities and relationship. I love Queen, so everytime I hear that song now, I think of my dad and smile.

This would be my suggestion. It's what DH danced to with his mom at our wedding.

My dad and I danced to "Because You Loved Me" by Celine Dion, and we both cried the whole way through.

Nice, that was my wedding song. I love that song so much.

My Dad & I danced to "I hope you Dance" by Leeann Wolmack. Gosh, I'm having a good cry. I miss my Dad so much. He passed this past October & it just hit me that I was so thankful that he beat cancer to walk me down the aisle. He got to hold both babies.

I know he's taking care of my angel-babies in Heaven... Sorry for the detour/thread jack, but I just got incredibly happy/sad/emotional.

I hope your friend has a beautiful wedding & memorable Dad-Daughter dance with her Father.

We did wildflowers too, and it was a combined father/daughter mother/son. It was absolutely perfect for us!

@PrimRoseMama - giant hugs. I'm so glad you have those memories of your dad!

PrimRoseMama · December 2013

@mmb248 : Thank you so much. :x

We danced to "Ready, Set, Don't Go" by Billy Ray Cyrus. It had some special meaning because I was getting ready to leave for basic training in a couple months, and my parents were struggling with it quite a bit.

MKAM10 · December 2013

My dad and I danced to Little Miss Magic by Jimmy Buffet. It had special meaning b/c we bonded over Buffet

Krisx2 · December 2013

Lullaby by Billy Joel. So lovely. DH and SD danced to Cinderella.

jcsumm0 · December 2013

"Isn't She Lovely" by Stevie Wonder. Great song, my dad picked it, but it sure seemed long when we were up there dancing to it.....(we're both fairly shy)

Have her check out the song "Daddy" by Kendall Payne. It's beautiful. I would have used it in a heartbeat if I could have shared a father daughter dance with my dad.

divinemsbee · December 2013

Ours was really random but incredibly meaningful. 'Alison' by Elvis Costello. It's my middle name, and it became so because my mom and dad absolutely couldn't agree on a name they liked. My dad had gone back to their house to get some stuff for my mom after I was born but she and I were still in the hospital, and 'Alison' came on the car radio. And he wanted that to be my middle name. The lyrics are definitely on the weird side, though. To be fair, H and I first dance was to 'You Better, You Bet' by The Who.

Pintobean39 · December 2013

My dad and I danced to "daddy's hands" he loved that song.

LaDyBostonRN · December 2013

We danced to "To Sir with Love" by LuLu. Best song eeevaah.

katietopaz · December 2013

Another for Cinderella by Steven Curtis Chapman. I ugly-cried through most of it, it had really special meaning for my dad and I.

To be fair, I almost always cry during father-daughter dances at weddings.

britb143 · December 2013

Thank you all for your suggestions!

@primrosemama I'm so sorry for the loss of your dad but it's great that you will always have those memories. *hugs*

This is what we danced to as well.

@britb143 : thank you.

I didn't dance with my dad but I did play Mr. Bo Jangles for him because he always calls himself that. He is a great dancer, as he likes to remind us. He looks a lot like a male version of this on the dance floor...

BeanNut · December 2013

"Hero" by Mariah Carey.

MMason12 · December 2013

My Daddy/Daughter song was "You Raise Me Up" by Josh Groban.

Megs7911 · December 2013

We danced to "Brown eyed girl." I don't have brown eyes, but it is a cute song and I wanted something a little more upbeat. My brother cut in about halfway through (as he was asked/told/pleaded with to do bc I don't really like my Dad that much) and it was a lot of fun.

TiffW2012 · December 2013

We danced to "Just fishin'" by Trace Adkins. We fished a lot through my childhood and it's a song about making memories with his daughter. Another good one by Trace Adkins that isn't too overused is "Then They Do".
