need opinions! my dad wants "i loved her first" for father daughter dance, i think its overplayed..

It may be overplayed, but I think it's fantastic your dad has a memory like that. I think it's very important that you give in and let him have this moment.

It is his moment of your wedding, let him have it and dance to the song. It might be overplayed at weddings you might have attended, but not at weddings he might have attended. Let him choose

We had a family friend cover it live and it was amazing and perfect. If it fits it fits.

I know! i didnt tell him i thought it was overplayed because i didnt want him to think i did not want to use it. i know it is really sweet he remembers that! maybe i can find a cover of it so it is not so country!

If it meant that much to him I wouldn't want to take that away from him. It's just a couple minutes that will bring him years and years of happiness!

I used that as my father/daughter dance. We both cried. It fit just right for us.

Awe! You have to let him have that song. There is a reason why it's overplayed... because it's the perfect song. Don't think about the fact that it is overplayed, just think about what it means to your dad and embrace that when you two are dancing together.

Is it overplayed because you hear people use it, or is it overplayed because you've heard it many times at weddings?

If you've never heard it, then maybe others haven't, either. I don't think I've heard it at a wedding.

How many weddings have you been to? A lot of overdone things seem overdone because there's hundreds of brides here. Usually people only go to a few weddings a year so a song with meaning is an easy choice!

I would use it if that is what he wants. I have no idea what song to dance with my father too.

Let him have his song. It's great he has a memory and sentimental attachment to it. In the end that will mean so much more to the both of you than how many other people have used the same song.

I'd always wanted to use "butterfly kisses" as my father daughter dance, even if it was over done. It reminded me of the "Eskimo" kisses we used to do when I was a kid. Unfortunately my dad's no longer with us and I didn't get my dance, but that song will still always remind me of him.

Thanks ladies! you are all right! i have never actually heard it at a wedding i guess i just got that impression from the forums!

does anyone know any covers of the song that are good and not country?

I think it's overplayed and a bit creepy, but your guests have probably not heard it. if he really wants it, and you don't mind, go with it.

I say let your dad pick and have a say in at least something related to the wedding

I was thinking that song and and my mom freaked when she heard it...was all like "he's singing to the groom, not the daughter....it'd have to be a father in law and son in law dance!" :/

That is the song I am dancing too.. I first heard is when i was 17.. and as soon as I heard it I knew that was going to be the song. It wasnt over played back then, but I dont care. I also got him cufflinks as a gift.. one sayd "father of the bride" the other says "i loved her first" which is perfect since it is our song!

Aww, I think that is so sweet that your Dad remembers that he was taking you for your license when he heard that song. I say give him his moment, After all he did love you first.

I've seen it played at about half of the weddings I've attended. BUT this song actually has sentimental value to you, so I say go for it. I used "Go On" by Jack Johnson. I'm sure my dad had never heard it before, but I like it.

I think it might be overplayed, but it fits perfectly for lots of father/daughter dances. I'm considering using it for mine, but I get teary eyed just thinking about it so I'm not sure yet if we'll go with something else or what!

I think I would be thrilled that my dad loves me so much that he already knows what song he wants his father-daughter dance to be. Who cares if it's overplayed? This is his moment with you, so his feelings should come way before whether or not someone thinks a song is overplayed. And remember, there will be plenty of people there who have never heard the song.
