So you are in the midst of planning your wedding and you’ve got plenty of things ticked off the to do list! The venue, dress, bridesmaids and groomsmen and possibly even your entertainment has been organised. You’ve chosen your first dance song, but have you considered the song you wish for your father / daughter dance?
The father / daughter dance has become a touching tradition among weddings and shows the magical bond a father has with his daughter and follows on from the symbol of him handing over the reins to her new husband. Generally, this dance takes place after the first dance as husband and wife. Choosing a song that means something to you and your father is common, as is a song with lyrics to thank your father for everything he has done during your life, but sometimes it can be difficult to make that final decision.
