But nobody could've guessed what was about to happen next.
Guests watched the adorable bride slow dance with her daddy dearest. Suddenly, the beat changed to The Jackson 5's “I Want You Back.” The pair broke then out of their waltz stance. Rick pulled some serious moves that prove he’s got more jive than the average dad.
