TOP 50 SONGS for a Bride to dance with her Father at a wedding

There are many dances incorporated into wedding receptions that are full of meaning, love, and letting go. The Traditional Father & Daughter Dance, the father would dance with his daughter, and midway through the song he would hand off his daughter to her new husband. This signified the fathers trust and acceptance of his new son-in-law. Today, the Bride & Groom have their own dance as a couple and the children now have their own special dance with their parent, a close relative or close friend, or a special person in their lives who is giving them away. If your Father has passed, I have seen many times the Mother of the Bride would dance with her daughter, fondly called the Mother & Daughter Dance, or even her brother may give her away. If you don't want to do a spotlight dance where all the attention is on you, you can also invite all the Fathers and Daughters in attendance to the dance floor to join in, whether you do it half way through the songs or from the beginning.
