The Father Daughter Dance

How is it to give your daughter away to a man for the rest of her life?  I can't honestly say since I have never done so myself.  So I must ask the fathers who have daughters and have given them away. 

The Father Daughter Dance is a celebration of a Father's Love for his Daughter and the way he feels about her should be reflected in the choice of song.  Typically the daughter will choose the song to symbolize how she feels about her father.  What I always recommend is for the bride's father to make a choice to symbolize how he feels about giving her away. 

The symbolism rings true for the moment the Father tells the Officiate after being asked "Who gives this woman to be wed?" he is relinquishing his trust and faith that the man in which chose his daughter to wed will do what he has done all along. Protection and love as well as friendship and caring each and every day of the life of his daughter is of utmost importance to any Father but most importantly to the Father of the Bride. 

Give your Father the honor of choosing the song you dance to with him at your reception.  If he is not there for any reason then dance with a brother, uncle, or significant other in honor of your father. 

Yes, mothers are important too and I will save that for another day.   Give dad a big hug and kiss and tell him Porkchop told you too.
