With any wedding comes many meaningful and heartfelt moments, from the exchanging of vows to the first look, however one of my personal favorites is the father-daughter dance. Traditionally following the first dance, there are plenty of heartfelt songs to choose from for this dance, from upbeat, to slo, to country. 

When trying to pick your song, consider any favorite songs or genres that you and your father might share to narrow it down. Try and pick something that helps express the special connection you may have with your father or father figure.
