    Hi orla!

    I'm not planning on it, I didnt even know people did until I came here.

    Maybe ask your dad if there is a special song he has. Maybe somehting he played or sang to you when you were little? For example, when my sister was born, eternal flame by the bangles was the only thing that shut her up (lol) so I would always suggest that for her x

    waterproof mascara? lol

    We could find a list of songs, but I still think its better if there is one thats special.
    erm, dance with my father by Luther vandross (lol sorry I had to), greatest love of all by whitney houston (its hard to find slow songs that arent romantic)

    I'm not having a formal father-daughter dance thing, but at some point I want the DJ to play 'When I'm Sixty Four' by the Beatles and I'll dance with him then. The song was special to us when I was growing up.

    i'm not planning on one but i'm sure it'll happen at some point. i was reading up on wedding etiquette a few months ago and it was suprising who is supposed to dance with who, talk about swap and change, lol. if you're wanting the father daughter dance maybe ask your dad what he would like :)

    I dont know what song to have to dance with my dad too! I was thinking something by david bowie because i know he loves his music! Either that or something by an irish singer called Christy Moore.

    I cant decide! :/

    Im glad I saw this thread, i am thinking of having a dance with my dad, but I really want it to be a Waltz (as my mum and dad met ballroom dancing, and the Waltz is always something me and my dad have done) But.....I don't want it to be an old piece of music, so need to find a modern waltz...any suggestions!?!?!? I know on Strictly they manage to make all sorts of pops songs into ballroom music, but not really sure where i can get them?

    Im wanting a father daughter dance but with having 2 dads i dont know whether i should just leave it out. Both my dads are walking me up the aisle as there was no way i could choose.

    My dad has asked for Temptations - My Girl .. as it a, it's both of our favourite songs & b, He said it always reminds him of his only baby girl as it was playing on the radio when I was born and thinks of me everytime. Xx

    just listened to butterfly kisses and although i wont be using the song it still made me cry; very beautiful song indeed.
    MrsHoward2B; try the strictly website? maybe that can help
    "always be your baby" is a nice song but doesnt really apply to us; my dad and i have had a turbulent relationship to say the eleast lolz <3 x

    I'd love to but i'm not sure dad would go for it!

    I can't remember who it was but when we had the game thread a while ago we were on the subject of first dance songs and i suggested my girl as a first dance (H2B dedicating it to new wife as normally its the other way around) they thought it was a great idea and are now using it as their first dance!

    I was well chuffed! I think it's great song for father and daughter dance too x

    I wasnt planning to have one, i think we'll do the first dance, then have a song that the whole of the bridal party can get up and dance too then we can all swap partners during that, that way you get to dance with everyone!! :)
