Does anyone know who sings the country song I Loved Her First? I am thinking about dancing to this with my father at my reception, but I don't know who sings it. It is a complete "tear jerker" so I am not sure I want to dance to it. I don't want to cry my whole way through the wedding and reception. If you all have any other suggestions that would be great too. Thanks!

Heartland sings it.
I love it - and I think you should dance to it. I heard it for the first time a couple of days ago and teared up while I was driving in my car. I was the only girl in my family and that Daddy/Daughter relationship was really special. Now I'm 33 and have 3 boys. I just had my little girl 2 months ago. Because of health problems, I know that she will be my one and only little girl. As I listened to this song, I thought of my Dad, and I thought about our daughter, I thought of her growing up, getting married and how my husband would feel. He is already so in love with her.
And as far as crying the whole night. You will. They'll be tears of joy and happiness. And no matter what song you dance to with your Dad, you'll cry the whole way through it.
Congratulations on your special day, enjoy the dance!!

Heartland sings that song. I think that song is absolutely beautiful. I don't think you would cry through the whole reception though. You might through that song but after that then the reception would be about fun and entertainment. But that part of a wedding is supposed to be a little sad because the father just gave away his daughter. Congratulations!

If you want something a little different (at least, I hadn't really heard of it before), you can look for "Daddy's Little Girl", originally sung by the Mills Brothers. It is very sweet - possibly a tear jerker - and includes references to Mom, too. It's a soft waltz with nice harmony that not everybody uses.
I actually asked my Dad what he would like for our dance (I got married in May this year) and that's what he picked!

I personally prefer classic, upbeat (or just less sappy) songs like: Isn't She Lovely - Stevie Wonder Sunshine of My Life - Stevie Wonder You Are So Beautiful - Joe Cocker The Way You Look Tonight - Frank Sinatra / Michael Buble What a Wonderful World - Louis Armstong Somewhere Over The Rainbow - Israel K. / Katherine McPhee Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison

I Loved Her First - by Heartland
here are the words to the sond
Look at the two of you dancing that way
Lost in the moment and each other's face
So much in love you're 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's still hard to give her away
I loved her first
How could that beautiful women with you
Be the same freckled 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 it's 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 danced with my dad to "Isn't she Lovely?" by Stevie Wonder. I wanted something that would evoke emotion but something that wouldn't make me cry all over the place and ruin my makeup or pictures :)

"I Loved Her First" is sung by Heartland.
Other suggestions would be:
"When Angels Fly" by Tony Ransom & The Heavenly Light Orchestra you can listen at http://www.whenangelsfly.com/.
You can find more father/daughter songs here:

there's also a newer country song called "my little girl" - I've been contemplating between it and "i loved her first" for my dance with my dad at my reception
