One father used his musical talent in order to create a heartfelt and touching memory during his daughter’s wedding.
Weddings are emotional experiences for nearly everyone involved. Yes, they are beautiful occasions where two people come together and vow before God and their family and friends to be together for the rest of their lives. But wedding ceremonies are also events that mark the end of one chapter and the beginning of another in life.
One father showed love and care for his little girl when he created and recorded an original song for their father-daughter dance. By the end of the clip, it’s hard to imagine there was a dry eye in the entire room.
The clip begins with the bride’s mother on the microphone. Mom talks about the importance of the father and daughter dance and how significant a moment it is in both of their lives. Mom also lets her daughter in on a few surprises during her speech.
First, the daughter learns that her selected song – “My Girl” by The Temptations – would not be played. Her father felt it “was OK” but wasn’t really happy with it. Instead, he wanted a track unique to them and their relationship. Since he couldn’t find the perfect tune, her father wrote one and recorded it for that moment.
Instead of a hit from The Temptations, the father and his little girl danced to the original song, “I Love You More Than That.” Before the music even starts both have tears in their eyes. What a wonderful and beautiful moment!
As the camera pans around, guests look on as the two take center stage on the dance floor. The tears continue to fall from the father of the bride and his little girl. It’s a moment that both will remember for the rest of their lives.
Ephesians 6:4 “You fathers, don’t provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.”
