Father/Daughter Dance for a Father that Wasn't Really Around

My father will not even be at the wedding. That being said, I am honestly considering doing a disco dance with my FFIL. He actually took disco lessons in the 1970's and I am a HUGE disco freak. If I can learn a dance on YouTube I might see if he will do it with me, because FH sure won't LOL!

I'm kind of in the same situation except I don't have a step father and my real dad was never in the picture. I have no memories of him after the age of maybe seven. If you want to get your disco on then go right ahead. The important thing is that you are happy. I'm not having anyone walk me down the aisle nor am I doing a father daughter dance. I might do a dance off with my momma.

Do you have to have one? Many people don't.

I was in the same situation as you. I didn't do a dance with my real dad and it would have been way I awkward. It just wasn't worth the anxiety on my wedding day.

Being that I see my dad all the time but we don't have a strong relationship I won't be doing a father/daughter dance it'll be way to awkward

My dad and I aren't super close and my family and I aren't very touchy-feely, so, for a variety of reasons this dance would've been awkward and I opted not to do one. It is a little weird since you're doing a dance with your stepfather, but, I wouldn't feel pressured to do one with your bio dad.

FH has this situation with his bio mother who wont be even attending but he still wanted to experience the mother/son dance with his step mom so he asked her what shed like to dance to that way it was her choice and something shes comfortable with. she chose my wish by rascal flatts. just basically wishing all your dreams come true and no matter what everyone loves u kinda thing

I am in the exact same situation and decided not to do the dance.

I know this is an old feed, but i am in the EXACT same situation! I'm super close with my stepdad and not so close with my bio dad, we maybe text like once a month and I'll see him once a year if that. He is still contributing a little bit to the wedding and I know his feelings will be hurt if I dance with my stepdad and not him. Like you, I have NO CLUE what to dance to with him because we don't have the typical father daughter relationship. My step father and I will be dancing to "He Didn't Have to Be" by Brad Paisley. It speaks so true to our relationship.

Any ideas for songs with my biological dad, or what did you end up doing with your biological father?

We are in the same boat.. it's so hard. I like the my wish suggestion.

I know this is an old thread, but I was having this same problem (well not exactly, everyone's situation is different) but I noticed there wasn't really any answers that helped. So I thought about maybe "Because You Loved Me" or "You're Gonna Miss This" or "My Wish". I'm sure there's a bunch of other songs, but for my situation those are mushy without being specific about the relationship between the father and daughter. I grew up without my father though we're close now, so it was difficult to find songs that didn't talk about raising the daughter and childhood memories. So I'm looking at some generic feelings songs.
