A bride and her father have taken the internet by storm with their unforgettable wedding dance mashup. The father-daughter dance is a cherished wedding tradition, but one family decided to elevate theirs from the conventional to the extraordinary. Their lively routine has captured the hearts of many, racking up over 200,000 views in just a week.
As reported by ABC News, Jake Davis and his daughter, Lily Davis, wowed the 400 guests at their Utah wedding by adding a unique twist to the classic daddy-daughter dance. They began with a gentle sway to the sentimental “Butterfly Kisses,” but soon transitioned into a dynamic four-minute choreographed medley featuring hits like “U Can’t Touch This” and “Bye Bye Bye.”
The pair practiced their routine for just a week leading up to the big day, but with Lily being a trained dancer who met her now-husband during their time as dance partners at Brigham Young University, their preparation seemed effortless. Jake had been dreaming of this moment for years. “I’m the oldest and the only girl, so this was my dad’s only chance to do something special like this,” Lily shared with ABC News. “We’d talked about it for so long that it all came together pretty easily.”
Hats off to them for injecting fun into a moment that typically leans towards sentimentality. Most father-daughter dances are filled with tender moments and a few tears, as the father grapples with the realization that his little girl is all grown up.
At my wedding, my wife and her dad kept it traditional, slow-dancing to the country ballad “I Loved Her First.” It was a touching experience, albeit with lyrics that suggest a slightly possessive sentiment. But I wouldn’t mind watching this lively dance for hours! The routine was undoubtedly the highlight of the reception for everyone present.
Ultimately, Lily insists that marrying her best friend was the best part of her day. For more insights into parenting and family life, check out this article on home insemination, as well as resources on pregnancy at UCSF.
