Papa Powder Puff is not really a dancer. He tries, bless his heart, but dancing is not really his thing. So when I was looking for a song for us to dance to, I wanted something short, cute and upbeat. After choosing “Sweet Pea” by Amos Lee, I felt confident that Dad would be able to pull the father/daughter dance off without too much trouble.
But when my dad whirled me on the dance floor, I was totally surprised! He had practiced dancing to our song with my mom a couple of nights before the wedding, and had some fabulous moves to show for it.
If you look closely in the background of these photos, you can see Snappy and Quiche documenting the moment!
And now for a bow!
Next, we get our super funky dance on!

That is soooo sweet and cute of your dad to practice dancing to the song! You two look so happy, and your dad looks so proud. So sweet!

Dads are awesome.

Aw, you look so happy. What great pictures. Umm, I don’t think I’ve commented on your dress before. It is beautiful. Who is it by? I am looking for something just like that!
Thankfully you can’t tell in these pictures, but I was a teary mess during your dance with your dad! It was so sweet 
& I LOVE THAT SONG!
that’s so cute that your dad secretly practiced! this was such a sweet post
@Charm bracelet: Thank you! It’s Allure Couture.
@Mrs. Quiche: Funny you say that, because in the video you can totally hear someone say “awwww!” when the song comes on, which makes me smile every time. Was that you, you sappy Quiche? 
Wow, lovelovelove these pictures! You and your dad are adorable! It’s so sweet that he “warmed up” for dancing with you–it paid off wonderfully! Thanks for posting all of these.
your dad is the cutest! I left the song choice up to my father - fingers crossed that he picks a good one!
So cute! What a great dad
Your dad is so cute! I love that he practiced for you!
Beautiful pictures!!! I’m still thinking about my father-daughter song, and I’ve never heard of yours… I’ll have to look into it.
soo sweet of your dad to practice beforehand. my dad passed away when i was 16, so as my wedding day approaches that is one thing i’m sad to miss out on. it is the one part in weddings that always makes me cry!! beautiful pictures, so happy for you and that moment you had with your dad!
That’s so cute that your dad practiced beforehand! It turned out great.
What a great surprise for you from your dad! Very cute pics!
My dad has very limited dancing skills, and he asked me if I would mind rehearsing with him the weekend before. It only took an hour or so, and we’re both more confident and might even throw a twirl or two in there
So, so sweet that you Dad practiced. That’s wonderful. He looks so happy and proud of you.
It’s so cute that your dad surprised you with his new moves!
So cute….I also really love your wedding dress it’s so beautiful.
that was so sweet of him, that he practiced before with your mom!
Aww, so sweet. I haven’t picked out the daddy/daughter song yet, but I know my Dad will twirl me around with the best of them. My parents met at a disco. Dancing was cool for guys back then.
adorable that he practiced for the dance! Sweet pea is a really cute song I listened to when dating the now hubs.
So adorable that he practiced! What a wonderful surprise
What a special moment with your dad! I think it is so adorable that he was practicing the big moment with your mom!
