So you have selected the perfect song to dance to with your father on your wedding day. The moment has come and the DJ keys on the microphone and in his best radio announcer voice (you know the one with the cheesy deep tone) he says
Ladies and Gentlemen! At this time, I would like to invite the bride and her father to the dance floor for the traditional father-daughter dance".
Whats wrong with this scenario? For starters, it's impersonal its same exact way he introduced the last 100 father-daughter dances. He didn't use your names, and his words provided no emotional moment enhancing value. Do you really want the moment you dance with your father on your wedding day to be bland, impersonal and lacking emotion? Think about it, how many years has your dad waited to share this dance with you? He just walked you down the aisle, gave you a kiss, and "gave his baby girl away" to a man that is vowing to take over the responsibility of looking out and caring for you. This may be the first time you see tears in your father's eyes because it's not an easy thing to accept.
The father-daughter dance is a big deal and should be treated that way. At the very least the words in which your DJ/MC or Event Host use to introduce you should be filled with sincerity and purpose. He should be able to convey emotion and inspire an emotional reaction from your guests. I personally believe the father-daughter dance is as much if not more important than your first dance.
So what can your DJ do to make this more special? Well, it depends on you and the relationship you have with your father, but your DJ should be able to channel that relationship to give you a one of a kind moment.
