My first born daughter is getting married next fall

I love her to death. Our relationship is strong.

She tasked me with choosing a father/daughter dance song.

I have been thinking about this.

Question: After I have made a selection, do I share that with her? or does she find out at the reception? I have never thought of this before so I do not know what is the 'norm'


Any songs that you think to suggest will be appreciated and listened to.

That's great news.... Congratulations to you both. :)

I don't have a suggestion about what song to play.... but I do have one for what not to play. *L*

I used to DJ weddings back in the day and one time I had a particularly fast-talking bride call me up to book her wedding. So when I asked her what she wanted for her first dance, she told me she wanted any song by John Denver. I asked her if she was sure... John Denver had lots of good first-dance songs - I named off a few suggestions for her.... but she was adamant - she wanted any song by John Denver. Big John Denver fan, I guess.

So anyway... the wedding reception comes and I've got the John Denver song cued up and ready to go - I think it was "Evergreen".... so I introduce Mr. and Mrs. X..... and then hit play and a few bars into the song the Bride stops in the middle of the song, storms up to me, screaming her head off. *L* Yuppp..... Gotta say, standing there having a couple of hundred people staring daggers at me probably wasn't the highlight of my life. Turns out the song she wanted was "Annie's Song" by John Denver. Ooopps. :3oops:



Sooooo.... all I can advise is if your daughter's name happens to be Annie, tell her to make sure to talk extra slowly.

Below is the song that I am thinking of - lots of time to change my mind though.

I dunno... Bridge Over Troubled Water is a pretty dark song. Did you and her have a rocky relationship? If it's always been good, maybe a more positive, bright song? Maybe something like; You Light UP My Life?
