More than just a dance
You can do the traditional waltz or have some fun with it! There are no set rules and it is your night. We have seen many brides dance to many styles of songs, from Butterfly Kisses to Thunderstruck by AC/DC!
Choosing the perfect song
Picking the right song can be a wonderful and emotional journey. Should it be a sentimental classic such as Butterfly Kisses? How about the song he used to sing you to sleep with like You Are My Sunshine? Or maybe something unexpected such as a favorite song you both used to sing to? Some opt for the traditional waltz while other choreograph an unforgettable and fun routine. There are no set rules and it is your night. Want Thunderstruck by AC/DC? do it! The best choice is not about perfection or whether it is fast or slow, it is about meaning.
Make it Special
As mentioned earlier, this is about memories and not perfection. Perfection can often be forgettable. It is the imperfections that make it fun and memorable. Here are some tips for a fantastic father/daughter dance:
Honoring Bonds
Not every father/daughter dance looks the same. And that is OK. They shouldn't. Whether it is a stepdad, uncle, brother or even mom stepping into this role, the heart of the tradition remains the same - a shared moment of love, honor and joy
A memory that lasts a lifetime
Long after the bouquet has been tossed and the last slice of cake eaten, the father/daughter dance remains. It will linger in photos, videos and your memory. While only a few short minutes, this dance will be a lifelong treasure for you, your father and everyone else who witnessed the moment. It is a reminder that love never fades.
It's not just a dance. It is a story, a bond, a memory... one that last far beyond the final note of the song.
