Daddy's Girl

The father/daughter dance was sort of a no-brainer for us.  I'm really blessed to have such a great dad and I never had to question whether I would dance with him at the wedding.  Jeff and his mom opted not to join in, only because they both hate dancing in front of people, and I totally respect that decision.  But that wasn't going to stop me from having my moment with my dad!

This dance was less awkward than my first dance with Jeff, probably because I felt less pressure to act a certain way or become overly emotional.  We danced to "Because You Loved Me" and it was really sweet and special to have that time with my dad.  Unfortunately I forgot to change into my flip-flops first, so since my dad is the same height as me, I kind of look like a giant in the pictures.  There are really only a couple of pictures from the whole dance that either he or I like.  I'll show them anyway, because it really was a great moment:

As the song neared an end, my dad told me how much he likes Jeff and how happy he is for us.  He asked if I was having fun, and I couldn't even find the words to tell him just how happy I was.  I thanked him for the whole day, and then the song was over.  I hugged him one more time, and then the dance floor was flooded with people once again.
