Father/daughter dance

Ashley, on June 10, 2016 at 6:24 PM Posted in Planning 0 11

So I'm still a while away from my wedding but I've been trying to get some easy stuff out of the way..I'm trying to pick a song for my dad and I to dance to but nothing comes to mind. My dad was never the mushy, hug you, squeeze you type which I think makes it more difficult. I want the song to be slow, I know some songs are more upbeat but I don't think that would work as he is kind of shy and a loner. He likes older stuff from the 60s and 70s. Any suggestions?

    I feel the same as Laura does for her dad (my step dad tho, which is my dad)...we've never had a mushy relationship. But my dad (step dad) has always been there for me since I was 4 (even though I wish he wasn't at times)...the song I have for him is "Daddy Dance with Me" by Krystal Keith.

    Its not a old school song or anything...seems more country but my mom likes it and thinks it's the right song.

    Maybe ask your dad what he was thinking and you could make a conversation out of it. That way you both are comfortable and it won't be awkward for either of you

    Sorry Ashley B- I wrote the last comment before the rest of yours could load.. I love all those songs even though I'm not much of a country fan... I really like "in my life ", she's a rainbow is a little faster and upbeat...I like you got it too...

    Thanks so much! Great recommendations.

    Laura- yeah I like isn't she lovely too! I'm thinking its upbeat.. I wouldn't mind doing upbeat if my dad was more outgoing but he's kinda shy and honestly I've never seen him dance... Ever .

    I'm going with "Whiter Shade of Pale". I had this issue too. I love my dad with all my heart, but he's not terribly mushy, but we're like BFF's for sure. I had a hard time struggling to find something that didn't sound creepy to dance with dad to.

    I'm having the same problem. Especially since my dad will be flying in from another country. I don't even have the first idea about what kind of song to choose for someone with his personality Smiley sad
