Mother and Daughter Dance...Anyone doing this? What song?

Just wondering if anyone was doing this...I have no relationship with my father so he will therefore NOT be a part of my wedding.

My Mom is walking me down the aisle and I want to have a mother/daughter dance. Anyone else doing this too??? Know of any good songs???

Re: Mother and Daughter Dance...Anyone doing this? What song?

My father passed away when i was little. I was thinking about doing this too. My godfather is walking me down the aisle but I thought this might be a nice thing at the reception. I like "You've got a friend" "I'll Stand By You" and "In My Daughter's Eyes". Whatever song you decide on I am sure the emotion and meaning of the dance will be there.

Re: Mother and Daughter Dance...Anyone doing this? What song?

Oh "My Daughter's Eyes" is that by Martina McBride???

That is a pretty song..

Thanks

I looooove this song. I think you can use it for mother/daughter or mother/father.

Artist: Lee Ann Womack
Song: I Hope You Dance


I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat
But always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances
But they're worth taking
Lovin' might be a mistake
But it's worth making
Don't let some hell bent heart
Leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out
Reconsider
Give the heavens above
More than just a passing glance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
(Time is a real and constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who)
I hope you dance
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
(Where those years have gone)

I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
Dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
(Time is a real and constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who)
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
I hope you dance
(Where those years have gone)

(Tell me who)
I hope you dance
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
(Where those years have gone)

That would be sweet! I love the Martina McBride song, I've seen pictures of other Mother/Bride dances and it was wonderful.

Re: Mother and Daughter Dance...Anyone doing this? What song?

My dad passed away when I was little also and so my mom is walking me down the aisle and we are dancing together. So far we have chosen "You raise me up" by Josh Groban but my mom heard the Martina McBride song the other day and she loved it so I guess we will chose between the two when it gets closer!!

Good luck!

My mom wouldn't want the spotlight, but I want to do something special. So I'm doing a program for the reception (listing out who's who in the BP, menu, + special songs). In it I'm dedicating Celine Dion's "Because You Loved Me" to my mom and sister. I want everyone to know how special they are to me!

Re: Mother and Daughter Dance...Anyone doing this? What song?

I plan to do a special dance with my mom, but not one in the big spotlight sort of deal. She loves Barbara Streisand, and I'm leaning towards "If I Could." Celine Dion also does it on her latest album.

Re: Mother and Daughter Dance...Anyone doing this? What song?

i am not doing that but i know of a few people that have done it. i dont see anything worng with it. i know few of the 2004 brides had the same situations if i recall right.
