In honor of Father’s Day last weekend, we asked our Facebook<\/a> friends what they thought were great songs for father\/daughter dances. We got some great responses and thought we’d share them with you in addition to listing some favorites of The Wedding Yentas.<\/p>\n

You have so much to think about during your wedding planning as it is! We want to give you a head start in the brainstorm so you can select a great tune that really means something to you and the other<\/i> special man in your life! The parent\/child songs could act as a 2-fer, as well. At my wedding, we had a father\/daughter dance and a mother\/son dance at the same time so that we could get back to the partying and group dancing right away! Remember, it’s your<\/i> wedding! You make up the rules!<\/p>\n

So, after a hora that’s like a cardio workout, you’ll rest, hear some speeches, and then most likely create new family memories with a special dance. <\/p>\n

Our Facebook <\/a>poll brought out these ideas:
\nYou’re The Inspiration<\/i> by Chicago<\/a> — submitted by Nicole
\nUnforgettable<\/i> by Nat King Cole & Natalie Cole<\/a> — submitted by Ellen
\nYou Make Me Feel So Young<\/i> by Frank Sinatra<\/a> — submitted by Sharon
