First of all congratulations! You are very lucky to have a brother-in-law like that.
Honestly I'm looking up lyrics to everyone else's suggestions and I am crying reading them. I can only imagine how bad it would be at my wedding..
As others have mentioned, the song "Dance With My Father" by Luther Vandross is a beautiful song. The only thing about it is if my father were to not be there on my wedding day, I think that song would be too painful for me for me to dance at my wedding to. I would want my wedding to be a happy time for everyone and during that song I would be a mess! But you may be different!
I think "Isn't She Lovely" by Stevie Wonder is a beautiful song. Also, "What A Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong. And "Wind Beneath My Wings". I think all of these are beautiful and no matter what you dance to you will have a very meaningful dance.
As for songs to dance for your first dance, do you and your husband have a song? Is there any song that holds a signifcant meaning to you both? That would be a way that would make it memorable.
Congratulations again and I wish you and your (future) husband all the best!

I cry everytime I hear this song By Heartland called "I loved her first". It may not be an exact fit, but I think it is worth the consideration.
Look at the two of you dancing that way
Lost in the moment and each others face
So much in love your alone in this place
Like there's nobody else in the world
I was enough for her not long ago
I was her number one
She told me so
And she still means the world to me
Just so you know
So be careful when you hold my girl
Time changes everything
Life must go on
And I'm not gonna stand in your way
But I loved her first and I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
But it still hard to give her away
I loved her first
How could that beautiful women with you
Be the same freckle face kid that I knew
The one that I read all those fairy tales to
And tucked into bed all those nights
And I knew the first time I saw you with her
It was only a matter of time
But I loved her first and I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
But its still hard to give her away
I loved her first
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
Someday you might know what I'm going through
When a miracle smiles up at you
I loved her first

I immediately thought of the Brad Paisley song, "He didn't have to Be." Or you could always pick "The Wind Beneath My Wings" by Bette Midler.
As for your first dance with your husband, I would think of "Grow Old With Me" or "I Will" by The Beatles. Mary Chapin Carpenter did a cool version of Grow Old With Me and Alison Krauss did a cool version of I Will. (She also did a really neat cover of Keith Whitley's "When You Say Nothing At All")

Power of Love by Frankie Goes to Hollywood is a great song. Celine Dion does another version, but I like FGTH version better.
For your father/daughter song, Luther Vandross has a great one, but I can't recall the name.

Ok, now, hopefully, my job has opened my eyes to some great songs,dealing with the things youare unfortunately dealing with. I agree with some of the other answers Luther Vandross - Dance With My Father, with Luther's music, his music has nothing to do with"any particular type" of music, its just simply a great song to help you thru your dance w/o your father,yes, it says things that fit this particular situation well.. Ok, as far as your first song together "looks like we made it" or, an Older rock song is "Dont look back", or " I got you babe"

I thinks the song is more like a man singing about a step-father, but the message may be the same for you. It's called "He Didn't Have to Be". By Brad Paisley. It is country and you can here it. It would be great if someone could sing it, making it fit you and your brother-in-law.

i went to a wedding and the most memorable father daughter dances was
(not sure if this is the title but) the beatles song
" there are places i remember"
I swear it made me cry....That would be lovely for you since your father is gone.....
Also celene Dions "im everything i am cause you loved me" was also a very touching dance....never thought of it in the father/daughter way...but since then cant see any other meaning.

Well, I can't help you on the father daughter song...but my mom and dad fell in love and their song was " Hello Darlin' " by Conway Twitty.
It's very nice, "hello darlin' nice to see you, it's been a long time, you're just as lovely, as you used to be...etc."
However, listen to it...it may or may not be appropriate for the meaning you want to convey...but it's still an awesome song.

Butterfly kisses by Bob Carlisle is an awesome father/daughter song. As far as you and your future husband goes...there are so many to choose from: No Place that Far by Sara Evans...Perfect by Sara Evans, Feels like home by Chantal Kravich, Joyride by Roxette, If you leave me now by Chicago, anything by Air Supply, or my song to my husband was and forever will be "waiting for you" by Richard Marx which was redone by Monica, Open Arms by Journey
