Uncle giving me away

Aleasha, on December 7, 2016 at 10:14 PM Posted in Planning 0 7

So my dad hasn't been in my life since I was little have tried calling when I was in high school, college never heard anything so gave up. Now it's getting close to that big day and my uncle is going to give me away and do the "father daughter dance". Any ideas on songs that aren't to mushy but would fit something like this? We are very close I have 7 uncles on the one side that are all like my "dads" very hard choice for me!

    My situation wasn't exactly the same as your situation. My father has a bad back and artificial knee, he opted to escort me down the aisle but not do a father/daughter dance with me. I asked my mother's 2 brothers to split the song and dance with me. For the song, I chose a song that always reminds me of my grandmother (their mother) which was a hit with my whole family. I would suggest checking the song section under inspiration, there will probably be a good list of songs that would work.

    @nancy I know you don't have to do a song but he wants too. He wants to make this as "normal" as possible

    I'm sort of in the same situation. My dad (step) passed away in a motorcycle accident 6 years ago, and my bio "dad" is a POS. So my uncle is walking me down the isle and then he and my FFIL are splitting the father daughter dance. Assuming they want to, I haven't asked yet. Lol

    Anyway, I haven't found a song either... So I'm watching! Sorry I'm no help.

    My uncle and I danced to I Hope You Dance by Lee Ann Womack.

    In a similar situation. My stepdad passed away this past June he has been my dad since I was 5 and I'm now 22. My bio dad passed when I was 2. My mom and I were never close. This a lot of baggage between the two of us. I was thinking about my Aunt giving me away because she has always been more of a parental unit than anything. I wasn't planning on having a father/daughter dance.
