Wedding Music: 65 Father-Daughter Dance Songs
There's a lot to look forward to when your wedding day arrives: uniting with loved ones, saying "I do," enjoying good food. For some, one of the most special moments is the father-daughter dance — a heartwarming tradition that requires the perfect song. Of course, the ideal tune depends on the pair. While some father-daughter duos might sway to Natalie and Nat King Cole's classic "Unforgettable," others might find Johnny Cash's sweet symphony "You Are My Sunshine" more fitting for their spotlight dance. There are plenty more musical options, so we've rounded up some of the best tracks suitable for the touching occasion.
