Thanks, I'll have to check that out!

We danced to "In My Life" by the Beatles. My dad loves the Beatles and it's a sweet song. Plus, it's fairly short which is good. My dad danced in his bare feet and, at the end, he bowed down - we have a very cute picture of it.

 

I, too was looking for a fun upbeat song. I had chosen Wink and a Smile (from Sleepless in Seattle - Harry Connick Junior - very cute song and easy to dance to), but my dad asked for a slow song. Still love this song! YouTube - Grandma

You might also consider Fly Me to the Moon or Kick out of You by Sinatra.

Natasha - I was totally thinking of using that song too! I'm trying to decide between the following (anyone have a vote?):

 

In my Life - Beatles

You are So Beautiful to Me - Ray Charles

You are the sunshine of my life - Stevie Wonder

 

My dad loves the second two and wants to dance twice! He's so sweet

My dad has one picked out that he is going to surprise me with... I'm 99.9% sure he'll choose Daddy's Girl by Peter Cetera. I remember listening to it with him when I was a kid - it's the perfect song. I'd be shocked if he didn't pick that song... but I'll let him think he surprised me lol - he's so cute!

so unless there is music at Baja Cantina (which it does say they have live music for dinner and Maye said yes that they might) then my dad will not be dancing....but we will still have fun

I'm sure you can drag him out on the dance floor for at least one song! I am actually really jealous that you guys are eloping! It's going to be awesome - and so romantic!

Kash I know I will be able to get him out and dance....my whole family will dance. I'm just hoping there will be live music....since I'm going to hire a trio or guitar player for ceremony only and not getting anthing for dinner....
So I'm hoping Baja Cantina has music...

"My Girl" (I think it's by the temptations) is a great song to dance to with your dad's - It is fun and upbeat! Sorry it took me a while to find this thread ....to many to look through!
