The Father-Daughter Dance
So you and your dad are going to have the traditional father daughter dance, but you’ve got some questions — mostly “what will we dance to?”
Here are some suggestions:
- Bob Carlisle’s “Butterfly Kisses”
- Heartland’s “I Loved Her First”
- Kenny Rogers’s “Through the Years”
- Frank Sinatra’s ”The Way You Look Tonight”
- Natalie Cole’s “Unforgettable”
- Amy Grant’s “My Father’s Eyes”
Some “non-cheesy” songs suggestions from the Offbeat Bride:
- Loudon Wainwright’s “Daughter”
- 10,000 Manaics “How You’ve Grown”
- Ben Folds’ “Still Fighting It”
What’s your favorite father-daughter dance song?

My father has not been in the picture since birth so my unlce is walking me down the aisle. When It came to the dance we were very unsure. His mother is no longer alive and my father is not around. So we are planning on swapping our remaining parent for the dance. His father who I adore will dance with me and my mother will dance with him. We thought it was a nice way to meld the families for the wedding.
