Although not quite as popular as the traditional 'First Dance', the Father & Daughter wedding song remains ever-popular and still holds a special meaning for both involved.
One distinction to be made is the context or lyrical context behind the chosen song; the love between a father and daughter is unique, so the song needs to reflect this. With this in mind, we've carefully selected these Father-Daughter dance songs to ensure there'll be no awkward moments on your big day.
