By Wayne Parker, About.com Guide

 

Is your daughter having a country themed wedding, or do you both just like country music? Here is a list of all-time favorite country songs to which you and your daughter can dance at the reception.

1. Butterfly Kisses

Bob Carlisle's Butterfly Kisses is one of the all-time favorites. The message is loved by dads and daughters alike and the tempo makes dancing easy.

 

2. I Loved her First

What a great song for a father-daughter wedding dance! By the country/pop group Heartland, this song will melt the heart of daughter, father and every onlooker.

 

3. My Little Girl

The consummate wedding dance song that is sung from the father's perspective, Steve Kirwan's My Little Girl is a gentle, sweet song with a dad reflecting on his experiences as his little girl's daddy.

 

4. Stealing Cinderella

Probably one of the newer country songs that makes a great father-daughter wedding dance piece, Chuck Wicks' top country song is a real winner. Fun beat, slow enough to dance to together and memorable lyrics make this one a favorite.

 

5. My Little Girl

Tim McGraw is one of my favorite country artists and this ballad will be a favorite for anyone who likes country music. And the tempo is such that it is pretty easy to dance to.

 

6. I Hope You Dance

A slow, rich country ballad that speaks to a father's inspiration for his daughter's success, Lee Ann Womack's I Hope You Dance will melt the heart of many wedding goers. This is another song that is slow and easy to dance.

 

7. Daddy's Little Girl

Another ballad-like song from Kippi Brannon, this piece is rich and emotional, reminiscing about the bride's growing up years with her dad and the time they spent together.

8. Daddy's Hands

Holly Dunn performs this song that walks down Memory Lane with a dad as she grew up on the farm. This is a great song for rural dads and daughters.

 

9. An Angel to Me

This is a fun country song performed by Loxsen Morre. It is an easy county waltz and the lyrics are sweet and tender.

 

10. Daddy's Girl

Red Sovine was a country singer back when "country was." Think Johnny Cash and Conway Twitty. If you like the twang of classic country, then you might want to consider this one for the reception. It's a little more upbeat than most of these other country songs, so dancing might take a little more skill and energy but it is a fun one.
