One of the most precious moments at any wedding is when the bride takes to the dance floor with her father for their symbolic father-daughter dance. Choosing the right song is key to making it a meaningful memory.
The father-daughter dance allows the two to share a quiet, emotional moment before the real party gets started. As dads give their little girls away to their new spouse, this is a chance to reminisce about fond memories from her childhood one last time.
Picking a song with touching lyrics that beautifully capture the love between dad and daughter is sure to make for a tear-jerking dance. Here are some top picks for father-daughter wedding dance songs:
