Dance With Dad

My dad and I are close but I am NOT a Daddy's girl. He and I have our issues but we work together, and spend a lot of time together. He is not emotional or sensitive and I am hyper of both.

My dad and I are close but I am NOT a Daddy's girl. He and I have our issues but we work together, and spend a lot of time together. He is not emotional or sensitive and I am hyper of both. He's said he loves me maybe 10 times in my life and we have hugged less than that.

But, he wants to do the dad/daughter dance at my wedding (I'm shocked and thrilled!). I want to find a nice song to dance to with him that isn't dripping with daddy-daughter-princess-I'm-going-to-shoot-you-if-you-hurt-my-baby-girl-ness. I don't think there's anything wrong with that, it's just not us. Any song suggestions? (Please, no Country.)

Thank you in advance!

    What about "I'm Happy Just to Dance With You" by the Beatles? I suggested that one to my dad thinking he wouldn't want something too sappy, but he vetoed it and now we're dancing to "Dance With My Father" by Luther Vandross.

    Gia - I like Have a Little Faith. Smiley smile Have you asked your dad what he'd like? Come to him with a few suggestions and see what he thinks.

    Do you two have a specific song you remember from childhood? Like one that you would always jam out to.

    My dad and I are doing part of suspicious minds by Dwight yoakam before drifting into a more traditional dad daughter song, Cinderella by Steve Curtis Chapman.

    Suspicious Minds may have nothing to do with the occasion, but we'll explain beforehand the meaning it has to us. It's the one song we dropped everything and danced to when it came on when I was a kid!

    My dad and I have a good relationship, but I am also not a Daddy's girl. My dad and I are dancing to Time Warp from The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I grew up watching this movie with him.

    My dad and I are the same way. We are doing What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong.

    The song slow down is a beautiful parent song to their children try that one.
