Amazing tunes, i don’t get many father daughter dances but it seems that the request for them is increasing, awsome inspiration.
Nice post. Its really good.
Such a unique post.
My father wrote an original song for our dance at my wedding. Its a beautiful song and would work for any bride who is looking for something that nobody has heard yet!
