Step-Father Dance
It's easier to post here then to call Delilah...
My parents divorced when I was 3 and my mom remarried when I was 5. In many ways I view my step-father as my father as I'm closer to him then my dad BUT my dad is still very much in the picture, I was essentially raised by two fathers and am a daddy's girl via my step-father not my father.
I don't want to steal my dad's thunder and my step-dad wouldn't want to either but I still want to dance with my step-dad. Both are walking me down the aisle and I will of course have my biological father on the traditional side and the first daughter dance with him followed by a break between special dances so people don't have to sit there through multiple songs.
What are some good suggestions for daughter/step-father? I thought I had it all taken care of but now that the date is right around the corner I'm forced to narrow my selection down and I'm currently not feeling any of them. My step-dad wants to be surprised so I couldn't get him to just pick it.
The ones I've narrowed it down to are:
Just The Way You Are - Billy Joel
Because You Loved Me - Celine Dion
There You'll Be - Faith Hill
The Way You Look Tonight - Frank Sinatra
Turn Around - Harry Belafonte
Through The Years - Kenny Rogers
Thank Heaven For Little Girls - from Gigi (lyrics maybe kind of gross considering this is my dad?)
Unforgettable - Nat King Cole & Natalie Cole duet
My Girl - Temptations
Fathers & Daughters - Paul Simon
Georgia - Ray Charles (I moved to Georgia six years ago and am on the opposite side of the country from my family now)
Isn't She Lovely - Stevie Wonder
You Are The Sunshine of My Life - Stevie Wonder
Little Miss Magic - Jimmy Buffett
Are there any that stand out as trumping the father/daughter dance or that don't seem appropriate for the above mentioned relationship? Or please by all means suggest another one, the past year of planning has sucked the creativity out of my brain (if it helps any the father/daughter dance is I Loved Her First by Heartland, no trumping that).
I just want to be married and dancing on a beach with my fiance in Costa Rica, no more wedding planning, it's not fun anymore.
