Does anyone have a suggestion for a father daughter dance song - BUT I dont want anything too mushy where I or others will be shedding tears. My fiance and I are going to dance to How Sweet it is... so somehting similarly upbeat would be great. Thanks in advance for your help!
I chose the song This Will Be (An Everlasting Love) as a song for all of our family to dance to, but at the last minute at the wedding reception, it turned into a true father-daughter dance. My dad didn't expect to be able to dance with me, and it meant a lot to him. It's not slow, it's upbeat, and hopefully won't remind everyone of eHarmony.com.
Hee hee. I think it's a wonderful father/daughter song. My husband has already said he wants to dance with our daughter to it at her wedding (She's 4!)
My dad and I were stumped as well... I hate mushy and I am sort of dreading this dance. My dad and I are close... but I'm weird about being watched having a moment.
he picked "Wild Horses" by the Rolling Stones. It's like an 8 minute song but we edited it to make it 3.
My FI and I are also dancing to "how sweet it is". I think my Father-Daughter song will be "a wink and a smile" by harry connick jr. Not a typical father-daughter song, but represents the sweet playful relationship we have.

my dad and i are starting out with Lullaby by Billy Joel and then going into Crocodile Rock by Elton John.
