Music Wedding Yarra Valley – Popular Songs for Father and Daughter Dance
Although many couples skip some of the old traditions, one that would not be missed other than the first dance is the father and daughter dance. And in the historical context, this has been going on for a long time together with walking the bride and escorting her towards the groom.
Why are both of these important? The escorting part is reminiscent of the old societal and cultural practice of patriarchal families in European countries that the father is an important figure to any known transactions or familial affairs. And his presence ensures that his child will have a good marriage as in the concept of “giving away.” But as time progresses, it now indicates finally accepting that it is the genesis of her new life.
In some parts of the world say in Southeast Asian countries escorting is in a way modernised that if the father is apparently not around, the mother can assume the responsibility or any male kin that stands as a father figure. But in most cases, it is an act of entrusting the bride to the groom.
First dances also imply it is a display of affection and closeness of the daughter to her father; for the final moment before she goes to her new household, she affirms that there would always be a place for her father in her heart, and life.
A modern twist on this is that the father later trade places with the groom and invites the crowd to join the dance as well. And it converts the father and daughter dance into a line dance or all together with a jolly performance for all.
