    Hey ive went and done something special for ma dad. Ive got a idea to take it a bit further but im not sure if it would work. In 1991 ma dad worked for british aerospace and he was involved in a project of a new aircraft. He was invited to the rollout and had his name rolled up on a screen in front of the queen, duke of edinburgh and others a day we were proud. Now the music that day was specially commisened for the event and ma dad got a taping and tape of the whole thing. We were hunting for it but the tape has went missing so dad was upset. I contacted the composer on fb just to see if i could get it. Finally got a response and he going to put on a cd for dad with a letter. So chuffed i had a brainwave, well 2. Do i a give it to him as a thankyou gift or do i have it arranged to be played as im walking down the aisle as a surprise. What do you think? Xxx

    That's awesome!! Thoughtful presents are some much nicer than something general. I'd give it to him as a thank you x

    Awwww I think it is lovely as a gift but I wouldn't walk down the aisle to it as it will distract him from the actual wedding, and he may not even recognise it at first! xxx

    Lovely lovely idea :) :) I'd also give it as a thank you gift rather than walking down the aisle to it...or would it suit a father-dughter dance type thing?

    What about having a father daughter dance after the first dance, and having it played then?

    That is such a nice idea.

    Maybe you could have it played as the guests are sitting down for the reception?
