Paging all Latin Brides

There has been a lot of talk about spanish songs for the father/ daugher dance, so I thought I would share what I think are two great songs.

1. Because you loved me (the spanish version) i am using that one


2. El Reloj by Luis Miguel. Different I know. But if you listen to the words if could be a father singing about his daughter who is about to leave him forever. I loved it.

Suggestions on a spanish Father/Daughter song?

Could someone give me some salsa songs to play?
I have the merengue down (i hope)

Actually, some salsa and merengue.

Thanks

Guess I should have said also.
my moms side Dominican
Dads side - Spain

FH - Russian. and jewish

Should be an intersting mix

So happy to see my fellow latinas keeping this wonderful and informative thread up and running!!! Congratulations and best of luck to you all!!!

here are some, i have tons more at home. some are oldies (but goodies), but great for weddings b/c they're about love (the happy kind - not i miss you kind):
-- victor manuelle - hay que poner el alma; que habria sido de mi;
-- servando y florentino - una cancion que te enamore
-- tito nieves - tuyo
-- jerry rivera - amores como el nuestro; me estoy enamorando de ti;
-- gilberto santa rosa - que manera de quererte

BUMP

Oh, I'm so happy I found this thread. Ok, here are our details:

Bride: Puerto Rican
Groom: African American

I am having a bilingual outdoor garden ceremony with both English and Spanish readings and a Latin singer who is writing a song just for me to walk down the aisle to. He has an absolutely enchanting voice and I love him dearly for doing this for me. I can't wait to hear it as I walk down the aisle. He's one of those old time 'latin crooners' so I know his voice will have everyone in a trance.

My father and I still don't know which song to choose for our first dance song. He loves Mi Nina Bonita but I really want a song that is more modern and that applys to out relationship. Don't they have 'Butterfly Kisses' in Spanish???

I'm also still trying to gather ideas for menu options that will please my side of the family (although we still have a lot of time for that). I am also doing about 10 latin invites and OOT baskets for those coming from the island.

I hope this thread continues to thrive - I could use all the 'latin touches' and ideas for this wedding I can get.

(going back to read through all the great ideas posted )

Yes, I've heard butterfly kisses in spanish and have that as any option for my father/daughter dance. But I was hoping to get some more ideas.

Anyone?

I've been hoping for a latina bride thread bumped into this by mystake..

Hey girls my name is Iliana. I was born here but but my parents are Dominican and my FH is born from Haitian parents but also born here..

Good I actually started not too long ago and I've kinda been in a rut.
But I'm trying to get back on track!!
