My daughter is getting married in 3 weeks-need suggestions

[Danmel]

For first dance with her dad. Some of the songs suggested by the dj strike me as either borderline incestuous or creepily possessive. She isn't our possession after all.
Anyone got any ideas?
Preferably not too twangy.

1. What a wonderful world

[Grasswire2]

2. Louis Armstrong.

Good idea.

Personally, I would skip the whole shebang and save the $$.

[Danmel]

11. We planned this long before the pandemic

[snpsmom]

6. came here to say this

could add Tom Petty's "Wildflowers"

[SheltieLover]

16. Best choice imo

[Nittersing]

3. How 'bout a list of choices

I'm not good at this stuff, but this might help:

4. My youngest daughter and I

danced to Tom Petty’s WILDFLOWERS …
Her choice and it was easy and medium slow enough

5. I Hope You Dance

Hope it's not too twangy.

13. This is perfect and is the song we used

for the Mother/Son dance at my youngest son's wedding. The sentiment is wonderful.

For my oldest son's wedding, we danced to "I Will Always Love You", Dolly Parton version...another goodie.

18. I was hoping to dance it with my son at his wedding, should that ever happen

[Totally Tunsie]

20. I hope you dance...

[catrose]

22. Aaaaaaaawwwwwwwwww

[SheltieLover]

15. Excellent! 👏👏👏👏

8. Paul Simon. Father and Daughter

21. I like that one..Never heard it before

[vanlassie]

27. My daughter and her dad used it. It was lovely. 💕

9. Wreck of the Edmund Fitsgerald? I didn't say it was a good idea. But you are right about the ...

creep factor about a lot of songs.

[LakeArenal]

10. I think this is pretty

12. How about "Our Love Is Here To Stay" by the Gershwins?

Nothing is more lasting than a parent's love.

Besides, it was George's last composition before he died and Ira's last collaboration with his brother. The lyrics are actually a tribute to George from Ira.

Although it is a beautiful love song useful for any occasion it works very well for a non romantic situation - since that was its original meaning.

Nat King COle

Tony Bennet & Diana Krall

Sinatra

[Sneederbunk]

14. "Unforgettable" by Nat King Cole and daughter Natalie.

[Totally Tunsie]

17. Whatever you choose, bring your own CD containing the song.

Don't rely on the DJ to have it on hand. Ours didn't have "I Hope You Dance", even though it was current at the time. Luckily I brought my copy and gave it to the couple as a memento afterwards.

Have a wonderful time at the wedding!

[catrose]

19. Lots of us use that one!

And you're very clever to bring your own.

23. Isn't She Lovely by Stevie Wonder

[LeftInTX]

24. This one seems decent. I don't think it's too mushy

But it seems sentimental enough

[cinematicdiversions]

25. I don't have a recommendation per se... but I would avoid Afternoon Delight.

[LeftInTX]

28. Another one to avoid, if you don't want to appear incestuous

I wonder if this song was ever played as a bride and groom's dance?? LOL
"Shotgun weddings" were still a thing back then. (Although guns were no longer involved)

[RFCalifornia]

26. Are there any songs that mean something to the two of you?

A good friend of mine did his first dance with his daughter to "Reeling in the Years" because he and his daughter loved that song and used to sing it in the car on long trips together

[Danmel]

29. Isn't she lovely it is

The bride and groom will have their first dance to Louis Armstrong's "A Kiss to Build a Dream On."
