ColonelPops Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I was at a wedding last night sitting with some folks from central and eastern KY. I heard one say something to the other about songs for the "daddy daughter dance" referring to the bride dancing with her father. I had never heard that term before as I've always heard it called the "father daughter dance." Is that a regional term? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard it both ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do realize that it’s the same thing. Which, though , do you say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonFire Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 With weddings, I've typically heard "Father/daughter dance". Daddy/daughter is more of a term for when you're talking about like elementary school years, when there are special daddy/daughter days or dances, things like that.

I've never heard "daddy daughter" in NKY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleluck55 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Now that I think about it, I agree with dragonfire, I’ve always heard the actual dance at a wedding as a “father daughter dance.” I’ve seen actual events called “daddy daughter dances” and they tend to be for younger girls and their dad. NKU has hosted many daddy daughter dances at their student center for different organizations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
