My father has been out of my life for a very long time and will not be at my wedding. My older brother has always kind of filled that father role, and I we are very close, so I wanted to honor him at our wedding by having a special dance, just for us. The problem is I can't seem to find ANY songs taht make sense. They are all about falling in love, or father/daughter or just seem plain weird. I'm open to any and all suggestions! please help! THANKS!

Re: Brother/Sister Dance
I am not close with my father at all. My mother never re-married but has been dating/living together with someone who basically is my stepfather. I am also close with my mother's father and my brother. I think I am going to do a general song, like 'I Hope you Dance' by Lee Ann Womak and have each of them go to a corner of the dance floor so I can change off and dance with them all. I also going to do a seperate song for my mother and I to dance to.

I'm using either 'I'll be There' by the Jackson 5 (I can't deal with the Mariah version) or 'You've Got a Friend' by James Taylor.

Re: Brother/Sister Dance
I'm dancing to 'Stand By Me' Ben E. King... i'm starting off with my dad for the first verse, but he has MAJOR hip/leg trouble so my brother will cut in after that and finish it off with me. :) I liked that song since i'm not a mushy daddy's girl type and i wont feel weird dancing with my brother to it!

Re: Brother/Sister Dance
There is a Dave Matthews Song called 'Sister' that is very sweet. Might be hard to dance to but the words are nice. A small part of the song:
Playing like we used to play Like it would never go away I feel you beating in my chest I’d be dead without
(Chorus) Sister, I hear you laugh My heart fills full up Keep me please Sister, when you cry I feel your tears Running down my face Sister, sister, you keep me
I hope you always know it’s true I would never make it through You could make the heavens fall Just by walking away
(Chorus) Sister, I hear you laugh My heart fills full up Keep me please Sister, when you cry I feel your tears Running down my face Sister, sister, you keep me
Or... Billy Joel, 'Just the way you are' Mariah Carey, 'Anytime you need a fried' Jack Johnson ' Better Together' Kenny Rogers 'Through the Years'

There You'll Be - Faith Hill I Hope You Dance - Leann Womack (Someone already suggested this but I wanted to second it . My cousin danced with her brother to this at her wedding)

For You I Will by Monica. I think it is the prefect song for a brother / sister dance:

Yes, when you're feeling lost in the night When you feel your world just ain't right Call on me, I will be waiting Count on me, I will be there Anytime the times get too tough Anytime your best ain't enough I'll be the one to make it better I'll be there to protect you, see you through I'll be there, and there is nothing, I won't do

Re: Brother/Sister Dance
'Sister' by the Nixons Sister
Here I am again, again ... overwhelming feelings Thousand miles away from your ocean home. Part of me is near Thoughts of what we were invade The miles that stand between, can't separate Your all I hoped you'd become Sister I see you - dancing on the stage of memory Sister I miss you Fleeting visits pass still they satisfy Reminders of the next overshadow good-bye Our flames burn as one
Sister I see you - dancing on the stage of memory Sister I miss you All I am begins with you, thoughts of hope understood Half of me breathes in you, thoughts of love remain true Here we are again saying good-bye Still we fall asleep underneath the same sky You're all I knew you'd become
Sister I see you - dancing on the stage of memory Sister I miss you Entwined, you and I, our souls speak from across the miles Intertwined, you and I, our blood flows from the same inside I see you walking there.... See you walking in my mind...
I thought I was the only who had to do this

Re: Brother/Sister Dance
Different situation for me.. My brother and I are very close.. But Im a dady's little girl... So of course I am havingmy father daughter dance... However my brother right now is in Iraq since he is in the army... He will get out just in time for my wedding and I want to have a special dance with him so I am doing 'Far Away' by Nickelback... MOre of a love song and not the traditional slowwww song but it fits our relationship since he is so far away.
