Father/daughter dance to "Cinderella"

[ScubaD]

To my DISboard friends,

I want to share this special moment I had with my daughter on her wedding day. I just ask you remember two things:

1. I do not dance, but I would have done anything for her on her wedding day.
2. The dance begins around 11 seconds into the video.

Hope you enjoy.

Dave

I would love to see this! It says it isn't working though! :(

[dpuck1998]

Doesn't work :(

Is this the "stealing Cinderella" song? That song kills me every time!

[jen3003]

I tried to watch it as well, no luck.

[Madi100]

Well, it worked for me. And, it made me cry long before the end. What an amazing thing you did for your daughter. Most of the time during the father and daughter dance people watch for the first few seconds and go on with what they were doing. To do that in daylight "on stage" took a lot of guts! Way to go! What a beautiful memory. You did good. You danced wonderfully.

[ScubaD]

It takes about 11 seconds into the video before it begins. Let me know if it still does not work and I will try another download.

[jen3003]

Now I got it to work.

Thanks you for sharing that video. I was crying the whole time through it.

Very well done!!! Congratulations!!! :)

[Boardwalker]

That was absolutely beautiful. Congratulations, on your performance as well as what looks like a very beautiful wedding.
I was crying too. Why can't they stay little just a little longer? Great song choice... the little girls were adorable, then the bride, I think I am crying again.

[newmouse2008]

openingly weeping here!!!! Beautiful!!!

[halliesmommy01]

OMG That was so beautiful. I am crying my eyes out. You have a lovely daughter. I wish her many years of happiness. You did wonderfully.

[peacelovemickey]

Oh my goodness. That was beautiful. I have goosebumps and tears. How did you ever get through it?

[cj9200]

I hope when my time comes, I do half as well as you did. Mine is 15 YO and it seems like yesterday I was watching her take her first steps. Sure you feel the same. Best wishes to your family.

[calypso*a*go-go]

That was wonderful -- thanks for sharing it with us!!! :thumbsup2

[Decorated_Dust]

This is just wonderful!! Thank you for sharing!! That is Steven Curtis Chapman's greatest song! It's what I want to use at my wedding without a doubt.

That song makes me cry just when I hear it on the radio. It came out a few months before he lost his five-year-old daughter, so that context just kills me every time.

[Bornteach]

OMG
:scared:

I have never heard that song! That was just perfect and I can't wait to share it with my husband!!!

[Mary Jo]

Thank you for sharing. That was really beautiful. I love how you started with the younger one, and then danced with the bride. Beautiful ending, too. I have tears.

My best to the bride and groom. :)

[TSWJan78]

I to loved this... I had never heard that song but sounds like it was just perfect for you two. Looks like you all had an amaing day!!

My favorite Steven Curits Chapman song is I Will Be Here. James and I had that in our wedding. I think the Cinderella song is very bittersweet, but the tradegy with his daughter just makes the song even more touching.

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

Your a great dad it was awesome!!

[spokanemom]

WOW! That was beautiful. Thank you SO much for sharing that moment with us.

[parrotheadlois]

Thanks so much! Crying here too...Tried to tell DUHGreg about it - couldn't without breaking down - oh we women are such suckers for the sappy stuff..:lovestruc

[NWOhioAngela]

Awwwww! Great job Dad!

[tcp1005]

This was fantastic! What wonderful memories your daughter will have of that dance. Thanks for sharing.

[aspen37]

It was beautiful Dave! It made me cry too. Thanks for sharing.

"I Will Be Here" is such an amazing song! I want to use that as my first dance at my wedding (I mean, I know I need a man first, but still). Have you heard the song "I Will Go There"? I have heard it used for a couple who is dealing with the wife's Alzheimer's, and it is very appropriate. All of his love songs are so pure and sincere, that you can't help but get teary eyed. I think SCC writes as many songs about his wife and kids than about God, which is okay with me. It's good to see a man who loves his family that much.

[LovesThumper]

You are a wonderful Dad to give this gift to your daughter. I cried through the whole thing. Congratulations to all of you

[pal-mickey]

Crying here also..Very beautiful....What a wonderful memory for you and your daughter.

[MinnieMommy]

:goodvibes

[disneydreamgirl]

That was so special...thank you for sharing - I loved your "thumbs-up" through the tears at the end! Very touching...

[clombardi]

Way to go, Dave! I cried uncontrollably while watching that. The look on your face at the end of the video was so touching.

I showed my husband and even he had moist eyes by the end. Thinking of his teenage daughters, no doubt!

Thank you so much for sharing that video with us. I hope that you and you daughter hold on to that moment forever.

[connie1042]

That was AWESOME! I cried through the whole thing, but that's okay. What great memories you made for your daughter.

[Disneybridein2k3]

Dave - that was absolutely beautiful! You nailed the symbolism and that is what is making the tears roll down my face now. You rock, my friend. :thumbsup2 What lucky princesses you have princess:

[Disneysnel]

Wow! That was amazing - I cried through the whole thing!
Thanks for sharing it!:dance3:

[deide71]

That was lovely!

You two really captured how wonderful it is to have a little girl, and how hard it is to watch them grow up.

Another weepy mom here.

Excellent, Sir. That is truly epic.

[disneymom8589]

I'm Dave's wife and the dance truly was magical! There was hardly a dry eye - even some emotional men (especially those with daughters!) ;) The 2 girls in the beginning are our next-door-neighbors.

Now we're getting ready for round two as our son gets married next month - just 2 months and 1 day after his sister! :)

[disneyholic family]

and you were so cute after the dance (all the shots of you wiping your face)!!

so sweet!

[mainegal]

Wonderful! A fantastic father daughter dance.
You daughter's dress was beautiful. With all the swirling around, you did well not to trip on it!

Thanks for sharing such a touching moment in you and your daughters relationship..

Yea so I spent a few moments crying too. Your daughter is beautiful!!

[LilGMom]

Wow! That was incredibly sweet and I have a feeling there were quite a few misty eyes at the reception after that.

[adsrtw]

That was awesome! Tears, what more can I say.

[tlcoke]

I love that song from Steven Curtis Chapman. The dance was beautiful and will be remembered by your daughter as a special moment at her wedding.

[*NikkiBell*]

Well done! What is the song called and who is it by?

[disneymom8589]

The song is called "Cinderella" by Steven Curtis Chapman.

[UrsulasShadow]

Thank you so much for that. You made me cry.

[DisneyDoc5]

Thank you for sharing that! That moment was such a blessing that I'm sure you will cherish. I lost my father to cancer when I was 7 and my wedding day was bittersweet without that special dance. I look forward to my own daughters wedding (hopefully not for about 20 years!) and seeing her dance with my husband!

[dayzemair]

That was so sweet, I can't believe you both made it through without sobbing :lovestruc
I grew up in Port Orchard, and your daughter looks around the same age as me, I wonder if I ever met your cinderella?
My daddy danced with me at my wedding too, but I was merciful on him and played a song that wasn't a "daddy Daughter" song, but was one that we always used to sing together when I was little "All of Me" It was very upbeat and fun and I think he appreciated it because he would have bawled all the way through a sweet song like that, you two looked amazing and I KNOW she will remember that moment her whole life!!
Good job Daddy!

[crazydisneyman]

<sniff sniff>

I have a two year old daughter and that makes me cry for the day she will get married.

Very awesome!

I love that song too.

[Jennygt]

Thanks you so much for sharing with us, how wondferful! I cried too during the entire thing, it reminder me so much of my Dad who died right after my wedding, he would have dome something like that had we thought of it. What a wonderful memory for you all, congrats to the bride and groom!

[angeluna]

Wow! How amazing. Your daughter will never forget that. I doubt you and your wife will either. I can't believe you have to go through another child getting married so soon. :hug: Thanks for sharing.

Good job Daddy!

Melissa graduated from SKHS in 2004 (?) and my DW teaches at Orchard Heights Elem. We attend Harper Church if that helps. When did you leave Port Orchard.

[dayzemair]

I went to Burley Glen. - we left PO when I was about 11 I think, but your dd is about 6 years younger than me, so I doubt we met - I really like it down there though (we live up north now), we have friends that still live there and I really enjoy visiting - lots of childhood memories there! We went to PO Assembly of God church and lived right around there.
Small world :rotfl:

[basketlacey]

Dave that was so very sweet. Thanks for sharing with us!

[kpadalik]

That was so beautiful! Thank you for sharing such a special moment with all of us. I bet there wasn't a dry eye in that room...I know I bawled my eyes out here.

[KevGuy]

I don't post much but wanted to thank you Dave for that great video. Makes me think to what I have in store for the future with my 11 year old daughter. :thumbsup2

[DVCsince02]

Thank you so much for sharing. It's beautiful!

[Emma's Dad]

Thank you very much for sharing this moment with us. Like others, I don't know how you got through it without breaking down. You're a strong dad!

Our church has a yearly father/daughter lunch and I was asked to sing something for the "entertainment" portion of the lunch this year. This song was picked out by my DD(6)... so I sang the song while she danced around me. She was soooo cute twirling around and around... at one point I forgot a part of the lyrics because she had me laughing! But if I were doing this for her wedding I don't know if I could get through the whole song... I'd be a babbling, broken-down crying old man.

[TXYankee]

Im crying too!

Thank you so much for sharing that. What a beautiful memory.

It made me remember my dance with my father at my wedding.

Thank you again.

[Splat25]

That was a very special moment and thank you for sharing that. I really enjoyed it and can't wait to show my DIS wife later :) :thumbsup2

[FairyGodmotherJen]

My 8 y.o. DD just asked me why I was crying...and all I could do is think of her dad and how he'd do it for her too - but he'd be sobbing the whole time! :lovestruc Absolutely sweet of you - thanks for sharing!!!

[disneygirlinnj]

havent had a chance to watch it yet but my best friend danced with her father to this song at her Disney wedding last year...beautiful song!

[aleask]

Very Special! Thanks for posting it. I love that song and so does my DD6 although she certainly hasn't come to grips that one day she might leave her father and get married to other man...

[DSNY4ever]

Thank you for sharing, that was so sweet. The best Father/daughter dance I've ever seen. And yes, of course I cried, but I have never heard that song. Very, very sweet.

[ScubaD]

Very Special! Thanks for posting it. I love that song and so does my DD6 although she certainly hasn't come to grips that one day she might leave her father and get married to other man...

Thanks for the kind words aleask.
I see you are from Bend, OR. Our son is getting married in Bend on September 19th. We are looking forward to spending some time there.

[TinkerbelleAbbysMom]

This was beautiful! I t brought back memories from my wedding. My dad and I danced to Butterfly Kisses. When it talks about giving her away he walked me to my new husband (which I didn't know he was planning). There wasn't a dry eye in the house then either :O)

[Disney Princess Jenn]

That was absolutely amazingly sweet--thank you so much for giving that memory to your daughter and for sharing it with all of us!
