    Ha ha that's funny, cuz i forgot to say no country. :o)

    We tend toward rock... new and old.

    It seems like a LOT of the songs are about love, and that just seems a little creepy for a father in law dance...

    If your father in law is a fun loving guy "We Are Family" by Sister Sledge is a good one they are talking about being family and from that point on you will be family.

    Curious to what song you chose because I am also doing this! Lol however, I may just have it announced “heather and Tracy are leading us into this next song, please join in” so we’re not alone the entire song.

    I am having the same issue! My dad is passed and my father in law is giving me away to his son and doing the father daughter dance with me, but picking a song has been difficult.

    I am in the same boat! My dad passed when I was young, my father in law is giving me away to his son and doing the dance with me. I’m getting married this June and can’t decide!
