Wedding Father And Dughter Dance Songs

The celebration of your wedding is about to come in no more than six weeks; most of the things have been taken care of, you’ve only wished for your father to be here and see how you managed to organize all the details, but you know as well that from up there he is watching you and smiles at everything you have succeeded doing up to now. But you are also grateful for your mother’s help and her husband’s, your new father who has made his entrance into your family not too long ago. You have agreed with your mother’s decision to rebuild her life as devastated as she had been four years ago when your father passed away.




Now with the celebration of your wedding, you have felt how close both your mother and her husband have been and how supportive that you decide to have the traditional father-daughter wedding dance performed next to him. But you will include also a part of the reception’s emotional event to preserve it as a dear moment when you together with your mother will perform “live” a song dedicated to your natural father who spiritually will be present watching you from above.

But with the choice of father and daughter wedding dance song, now here is a challenge; there are plenty of reception songs, one more emotional than the other, very appropriate also for the mother and son dance, for your first dance as well, but other than these, the choice for YOUR moment of father and daughter dance song is somehow difficult to pick up. You have to find something that reflects gratitude toward your step father’s support on the occasion of your wedding event, but at the same time to reflect the sorrows that you feel not having your natural father next to you any more.

It is indeed a special situation and you have several times considered the option to eliminate this part out of the reception celebration, but while you have expressed your opinion out loud, you have caught your mother’s expression on her face and instantly thought of reconsidering the option. But whenever you reach for the online research you face the same impossibility: not finding the right step-father and daughter song to dance to that is appropriate to your situation. Seeing how hard times you have in finding the song, your mother offers to help and together armed with a lot of patience you begin once again auditioning and reading all the lyrics of father and daughter wedding dance songs while listening to the tunes.

After some hours of browsing you have written down two of these specific songs: “Things we’ve handed down” performed by March Cohn and “Circle of life” by Elton John. Your choice inclines more towards “Things we’ve handed down” which could be seen more as a dedication on your step-father’s behalf, and this is the reason why you and your mother decide to have this one played during the step-father and daughter dance and the other one, “Circle of life” you plan to perform “live” together with your mother on the stage in the night of your wedding reception. The same circle of life you would have wished to comprise the physical presence of your father and have him counted among your dearest witnesses at the celebration of the most important day of your life: your wedding day.
