Song for brother/sister dance in place of father/daughter

My father passed away unexpectedly a year ago this February... I got engaged right before he passed and he had no idea... My younger brother is walking me down the aisle and doing a brother/sister dance with me. I'd rather skip the dance, but my FH is dancing with his mother so I feel like it would be weird if I didn't. I'm not sure what to choose since I'm really emotional about the situation as it is.

These are some awesome ideas. My Guy and I are planning a Winter Wonderland in Jan 2013.

My dad has also passed and my brother is giving me away as well. I am an older bride (and not my first wedding) but we wanted some tradtional items in the wedding. We are having his mother dance with him and my brother dance with me at the same time to - My Wish by Rascal Flatts. We are also dedicating a dance for our daughters (we have 5 over 18) and having them and their dates dance to I Hope you dance by Lee Ann Womack.

Should be great fun! Can't wait.

Since I was a little girl I promised my Grandfather that he would had the honor to walk me down the Aisle unfortunately he died when I was 12, my father won't be walking down the aisle he's not even invited my little brother who will be 17 when I'm getting married would be walking the Aisle we been through everything and this is going to be this first time I will be separated from him my FH and I would probably move back to his hometown if we don't a home in mine. So it's hard to find a good song for me and him

This is making me tear up! My father passed away 15 mos ago and Im getting married in October. My biggest fear has come true. Ive always had such a bond with my dad. Im so happy there are others who I can read about who have shared in this. I bet your wedding was beautiful. I know my older brother will be honored to give me away, as he says hes already paid my fiance to take me. Spoken like my father. I know your father was watching down on you and praising his beautiful daughter. Thank you for posting this. God bless

I have a similar dilema. I am the brother of the bride and I am giving my sister away. I don't want to use the traditional songs. I found a perfect song, For Good from the Broadway show Wicked. I picked the Glee version as it's a little faster. Some people are saying it's too slow for a wedding song. Suggestions.

For your situation I would suggest And the world turned by The Gabe dixon band

I'm in need of help. I'm not even sure if my family will be going to my wedding, as they do not like my fh, and as of this moment, do not know I'm engaged. My step father(who was in my life from birth) tragically passed away on his way to work earlier this year. I was(and still am) a daddy's girl, I have always wanted to dance with him to "I loved her first", but I just don't think that would work out as a brother/sister song. And as I am still unsure as to whether or not they will even be there, is there a suggestion as to something I could use? My brother is my little brother, and he's a Goofball. I have been up every night thinking about this, crying, because I'm heartbroken over my dad not being able to be there.... :/

My parents never raised me so My aunt and uncle did.. I call them mom and dad.. Well my father that raised me passed away in 2010.. I wanted my grandfather to walk me but he also passed away in 2008.. I have gotten close to my real father since 2008..He is unable to attend my wedding because of legal reasons and because my sister basically ruined his life.. So my choice to walk me down the isle is my brother-in-law Josh.. He has been around since I was 5.. Im 20 now.. But i have no idea what song to choose for the brother/sister dance.. Any suggestions plzz

My brother and I will be dancing to lean on me! He has been a big part of my life and even know we went through some awful patches in life I love him very much!

Wow!!! I am in the same situation. I lost my father and have two older brothers and need one to walk me or one to dance or my mom to give me away and have them both dance. This is a hard decision, please let me know what you decided!! best wishes!

I thought of I loved you first also but idk if that is right for a brother snd sister dance.. it's hard to find the right song for this and I need two. I'm thinking of possibly splitting the song up so it's more equal, even though my older brother is more of a father figure, my other is more of a best friend, very hard!

I LOVE the idea of "There you'll Be"!! Thank you, so glad I found this site and all the great suggestions!

Im in the same boat as most of you ..my dad passed away unexpectedly at the age of sixty on the 4 th of July a year and a half ago now..I just got engaged today so just startin to jot some things down.

.I have two older brothers ..im 27 and there 43 and 42 ..im going to be having BOTH of them walk me down the isle and give me away (they dont know it yet hehe) but at the reception I want to also have to separate dances for the each of. Them and this site has given me a lot of good ideas for some good songs for them

I'm dancing with my little brother at my wedding as well. he's much younger than me (I'm 26 he's 14) so I wanted to do something that's short and cute. I decided on You've got a friend in me the theme from toy story.

Like so many of you I am also extremely thankful to have found this post! My dad passed away exactly a month ago after a 4-year battle with cancer, and his dying wish was for my older brother to give me away and dance with me. I dreamt of dancing to "I Loved Her First" when I thought my dad would be well enough to make it to my wedding this December, but that song just doesn't fit for my brother. "There You'll Be" seems perfect. As I wipe the tears from my eyes it is so comforting to know I'm not nearly as alone as I thought I was in this situation!

This is the bride....i have a father who has not been in my life and when he was it wasnt good i am having my brother in law walk me down the aisle because he was there for me thru a lot in the last 10 yrs especially when my mom died...i dont know what song because i am inviting my father....but am confused can i get some thought please and thank you!?

I lost my father 10 years ago and have thought all the time about how I'm going to miss my daddy / daughter dance. My mom is going back and forth deciding if she wants to walk me down, or have my only brother.

I love these suggestions as he has agreed to dance with me that night.

I am leaning towards There You'll be..... but I still have 8 months to decide

Never alone by lady antebellum

I have the same problem my dad abandoned the family a year and a half ago (beer and banging woman my age is more important then family) and my mom is giving me away (she's been at me about it) so i needed some one to do the father daughter dance (it'll be wired if my FH dances with his mom and i have no one) all my life my brother was like a father to me so i decided to let him have the pleasure of dancing with me out of all the song i found faith hill there you'll be is the best

Hi, um... my mom passed away in 2004, and my father wasn't a very good man. he hurt both me and my brother very badly to the point where me and my brother (hes 17 years older than me) hadn't had any contact with each other for 16 years. i Danced with him at his wedding last october to "Orange Sky" by alexi murdoch... im getting married in august or september... we haven't completly secured a date yet but i'm trying to find a brother/sister song. i keep drawing blanks... if someone could give me some suggestions that would be very much appreciatied
