Can the bride dance with father first?

It is customary for the bride to dance with her father first at her wedding reception. This tradition is a symbolic representation of the father-daughter bond and the father's role in giving away his daughter to the groom. The father-daughter dance is often a touching and emotional moment, and it is a meaningful way for the bride to honor her father and thank him for his love and support.
