I did dance to Buffet with my Dad! But it was "Little Miss Magic". Here's the lyrics, but you've got to hear it to appreciate it. It's a beautiful song -- not your typical Buffet -- more like a lullabye -- perfect for a slow song dance.
If she hasn't already joined, send her to www.ultimatewedding.com. I got a lot of my song ideas and other ideas for our wedding on this web site. Very helpful. My Dad got himself uninvited (long story), so I can't really suggest anything.
My father should have been uninvited (also a long story); but getting back on track, have your fiance ask her father what would be a meaningful song for him. I would imagine most fathers have songs that remind them of their little girls.
"Unforgetable", the duet version by Nat and Natalie (Gotta disagree with ya, Lee). As to who's choice it is to pick the song - the father of the bride. Been there, done that, paid for the weddings. 3X.
Mine is going to use a Bobby Darrin song, I forget off the top of my head which one – I know for sure it’s not mack the knife.
"I Hope You Dance" by Lee Ann Womack. I know it is country and you may not like country, but the words and meaning are great.
So what's the verdict? Any of this back and forth wedding nostalgia produce positive results? Is she any closer to making a decision or are you closer to needing another beer?
