I danced with my dad to "house of the rising sun" it can literally be any song you want, pick a song that is perhaps his favourite or reminds you of him for a particular reason, it doesn't have to be a sop fest xxx

I went with Forever Young, by Meat Loaf, because my mom and I are massive meat loaf fans, do it felt personal to me

I tried asking him what he wanted, because I thought really for it to be personal, it should come from him, but he said whatever I wanted. Given how often he says that, we nearly ended up with "Whatever You Want" by Status Quo, until I imagined how awkward the two of us dancing to that would look, lol. I still regret not picking that to some extent

I hated all the cheesy ones on the lists. So I asked my dad to pick a song he liked. We're having Joe Cocker so beautiful. I'd say let your dad pick a song or singer he likes

Hi everyone this is my third my first wedding cost £2,500 and I really didn't feel like I had got married we were together for 17years till he ran off with a older woman.second time I spent £500.00 and we didn't have a party or anything we only lasted 17mth we did it in the Registration office and I found this to feel been in line for lunch at school.
This time I am getting married in church and looking at spending £10/12.000 I no we will end up spending more as we all do. sometimes it doesn't matter what you spend as long as you are together in love and happy nothing else matters. you can cut back and doing things yourself and have more fun in doing it. good luck everyone

Me and my dad went with 'The cure - love song' It was the album he was listening to around the time of my birth which made it special. Maybe you and your dad could find something like that?

I loved her first is an amazing song

Me and my dad have chosen "I loved her first" it means a lot to us the words as my dad nearly lost me and my mum at birth so as soon as I was stable my dad was handed me to look after while they sorted out my mum! I think you should choose a song that has something to do with your father daughter relationship x

Might be a weird one but I'm having jls proud. It stands out to me when I listen to it as makes me think of my dad but also my dad's dad who I miss like crazy. Plus I am a jls fan so would be rude not to x

Roy Orbison - You got it. Great song and thought the words were quite appropriate for my dad and I as he spoilt me rotten all my life!!

If you know what it is (and you like the song) what about the song that was number 1 in the charts the day you were born. It's what I'm going to do with my dad. X

My Dad picked our song and he chose "She" by Charles Aznavour.

My dad and I are not the slow dancing type. We danced to "tiger feet" which was fun, totally us and people didn't expect it. Wouldn't change it at all x

I let my dad pick the song. He contacted the DJ before and I had no idea until the time came. The control freak in me had to let go and embrace a surprise! (I hate them!) he picked 'I loved her first'

Nancy sinatra - it's for my dad. A lovely song that I wanted to be about him rather than me since he's helped towards the costs.
