Songs to Walk Down the Aisle To

Songs to walk down the aisle to

I have been looking for songs to walk down the aisle to at my wedding.  The first time I heard it I knew it was the one. I was working and it came on the radio. I was hooked to the words. It was perfect. It described my father and I to a T. If you have been following our story, this is a continuation blog about the category of “Meeting the Love of your Life.”

There are so many different wedding aisle songs to choose from. Check these other ideas out here.

I have typed up her lyrics here along with the story behind the song for me.

In My Daughter’s Eyes by Martina McBride

In my daughter’s eyes I am a hero
I am strong and wise and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I wanna be
In my daughter’s eyes
Story behind this section: My dad has always been a big hero in my eyes. He has helped rescue me when my car broke down. It is scary being alone when you are in a car somewhere out in the middle of nowhere, without a cell phone. There was a time without cell phones, you know. I had to trust a nearby house and ask them if I could use their phone to call my daddy to come and get me and my car. Now because he has taught me how to change a tire, and many other things about cars, I know how to fix things myself. This helps me feel “strong and wise and I know no fear..” I know my dad is who he is too, because of my influence on him. What man hasn’t changed when a baby girl enters his life? I almost tear up just typing this blog reminiscing. It was all I could do to walk down the aisle listening to the song.
In my daughter’s eyes everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light and the
world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me gives me
strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter’s eyes
Story behind this section: I was always raised to care for others. So many people throughout my life (including strangers) tell me I am always so happy and smiling. I have been taught to see the positive in everything. For that, I am very thankful to both my mom and dad. We grew up with not much money, but my parents would never let us know that. We thought we were rich because of how positive they were and how they treated us. I am happy to say that my father has been an inspiration to me as many times as I have helped him have “strength when I am weak…”And when she wraps her hand
around my finger
Oh it puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about

Story behind this section: It is the little touches that can mean so much to many. Physical touch is powerful. “Any when she wraps her hand around my finger” reminds me of the many times when I still hug my daddy tightly. He has been there so many times in my life from a baby till now. I know he has a big cheesy grin because of the warmth in the touch between us and the bond there. He is reminded of why I love him, and vice versa. Life really is all about caring for the ones who first cared for you.It’s hangin’ on when your heart
has had enough
It’s giving more when you feel like giving up
I’ve seen the light
It’s in my daugter’s eyes

Story behind this section: We have had some tough times together. We were all teenagers once going through our rebellion stage. When I slammed the doors to my bedroom because I as angry, it always ended with him giving me time to think about things, then using it as a teachable moment “giving more when you feel like giving up,” and talking through the problems with me. I am forever grateful of learning these skills for life and business today. Or when you have your first break-up with a boyfriend. You think the world is ending, but get the talk about “there is more fish in the sea. You are worth more.” Invaluable lessons from my dad. He was the first man and love of my life. Now, when my dad feels like “giving up” I know I will be there as his “light.”In my daughter’s eyes I can see the future
A reflection of who I am and what will be
Though she’ll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I’m gone I hope you see how happy
she made me
For I’ll be there
In my daughter’s eyes

Story behind this section: Who are you to your children? What do you want them to remember you for? If you were to write your kids a “Message to the Future” letter, what would you say? Reminisce with your child years later with a decorative Baby Time Capsule. Keep their memories and mementos in the time capsule. Then in 20 to 40 years re-open the time capsule and relive what life was like when your baby was first born.

Baby Time Capsule Reviews

I am a reflection of my father in many ways. I am sure you can relate. I have his determination, passion, longing to constantly learn, playfulness, entrepreneurial heart and drive, good looks (Ha Ha – just kidding), love for others, and other quirks. What did you pass on to your children?

Ask yourself, how are my babies “a reflection of who I am and what will be?” It was hard moving out of my parent’s house, when I grew up, but I knew I had to. It was time to start a new journey. New memories only come, when you let go and move on. My husband and father are very close and very similar. It is a rare honor to marry someone as close to my father as Mark (my husband) is. For that reason, my father will always be there.
