A bride and her father stole the show at their wedding after surprising guests with a choreographed routine as part of their unforgettable father-daughter dance.
Nancy Krieger, 30, and Ron Lestock, 63, have gone viral after they broke the dance floor at their reception held Nov. 12 at Windows on the River in Cleveland, Ohio.
The TikTok video shows the father-daughter duo slowly dancing to The Temptations’ classic “My Girl,” just before the record scratches and the song transitions to Usher’s hit “Yeah!” with Lil Jon and Ludacris.

“All you know is that dad practiced this every day for months with the biggest smile on his face,” one person commented.
“I smiled so wide at that! What a wonderful dad you have! Love this,” someone else wrote, while another added, “Okay this is iconic.”
Others asked the newlywed to share the full video of their father-daughter dance so they could watch the rest of their performance.
Krieger told Good Morning America that it was actually her dad who came up with the idea of doing a “fun dance” because they would “cry all the time” if they picked a more traditional slow song.

‘I thought about it. I said, “You know what, let’s try to do something different than the old, you know, daddy’s little girl dance.” you know?” she recalled. “So we thought about it and picked a couple of songs each.”
In addition to “My Girl,” they each chose two other songs to be included in the mashup, but viewers weren’t able to see them. Her dance to ‘Yeah!’ Chubby Checker’s “Twist”, Ciara’s “1,2 Step” and the Village People’s “YMCA” followed.
Kieger said they practiced their routine every week for about eight to nine months before their wedding to now-husband Andrew Krieger because they didn’t want to be nervous dancing in front of 170 guests.
