Father/daughter dance suggestions? Strained relationship

Amy, on June 8, 2012 at 8:06 AM Posted in Planning 0 7

Ive seen a few posts like this before so Ill try to keep it simple.

I wasnt planning on doing a father/daughter dance since my dad and I arent really the type, but FH thinks we should.

My mother was very ill and passed away when i was 15, my dad remarried a year later. I moved out as soon as I graduated HS and we didnt speak for 4 years. I had a hard time dealing with his new wife.

When I got pregnant with my first son, he contacted me and things have gotten much better. We are very close now and have a pretty good relationship.

So what would be an appropriate song? I dont like any of the cliche songs. I was thinking maybe a song by an artist my mother liked. She liked Vince gill, Garth brooks, Brooks & Dunn, Reba, the old school country... Im stumped!!

    I have a strained relationship with my dad as well. He was never around growing up and after my parents divorced we didn't talk for 4 years either. We do talk now, but the relationship is not great. I really do not feel he deserves the father/daughter dance but I do feel my FH deserves his song with his mother and I think it would look like a slap in the face to my dad if I didn't (to the people who do not know our relationship, i.e. all off FHs family) so i decided to do the dang dance. I refused to pick any mushy daddy songs as I do not feel he deserves that, and they are not true. So I picked the song "What a Wonderful Life" by Louis Armstrong. The song is lovely and has absolutely nothing to do with a father/daughter relationship.

    "What a Wonderful World" is a good one, cuz it's not specific to father/daughter relationships...
