What song will you pick for that special moment with your mom on your wedding day?
The mother/song dance is always a special moment for mom.
“Have you asked you mom what song she would like to dance to with you?”
When a groom tells me he doesn’t know what this Mother/Son Dance song is going to be, the above question is one I always ask.
If your reply to that question is, “no,” then I need you to stop reading, pick up your phone and text, call, Facebook message or Snapchat your mom and ask her.
First, she will love the fact you are connecting with her. Second, if you are Snapchatting her, your mom is awesome and so with the times.
If both of you are still perplexed, take a look at these songs I have played at past weddings.
- Beatles - In My Life
- Boyz II Men - Song for Mama
- Celine Dion - Because You Loved Me
- Dianne - Senora
- Jennifer Lopez - Let’s Get Loud
- Kenny Rogers - Through the Years
- Louis Armstrong - What a Wonderful World
- Minnie Rippington - Loving You
- Neil Diamond - When You Wish Upon a Star
- Rascal Flatts - My Wish
