Some of you are wondering why I’m doing everything for my brother’s wedding. My brother’s fiance is from Korea and moved here a couple of months ago. She doesn’t speak English nor does she know what goes into planning an American wedding. My brother, being a guy of course, is very happy to leave all the details to me. It’s been a challenge coordinating with my brother, his fiance, my parents, guests from overseas, while planning the entire thing in 2 months, and doing it all from New York while the wedding is in LA. But hey I love a challenge.

In Korea they don’t have mother/son and father/daughter dances or any dances for that matter. My brother’s fiance wasn’t comfortable with the idea of doing a father/daughter dance so I came up with an idea to do a family dance instead. My parents, her parents, my brother and his wife, and me and Mr. Bee will all dance together.

The problem I’m facing is selecting a song. I need to find one like today because everyone is eager to take dance lessons! It has to be a song that everyone knows (that’s a very tall order) so I’d rule out any recent or pop songs as well as being appropriate for the occasion. I was thinking about Stand by Me, The Greatest Love of All, The Rose, Unforgettable. Any other suggestions?

My dad wants to use What a Wonderful World, but we already used it for our father/daughter dance at my wedding.
