Anyone know an appropriate song to dance to with my son at his wedding?
I'm the only hell my mama ever raised? just kidding. I am watching to see what you get as I am also the groom to bes mom and will be looking for this as well.
Congrats! I've been keeping a mental list in my head since my first son was born. Of course it depends on your personalities and relationships and whether or not you want something very sentimental, whimsical, etc. but here are the ones I have either seen at weddings or thought would be sweet:
Stand by Me - Ben E. King
I'll Stand by You - The Pretenders
Because You Loved Me - Celine Dion
You Are So Beautiful - Joe Cocker
What a Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong
Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World mix - Israel Kamakawiwo'ole
At my BIL's wedding he and his mom danced to "Mama" by Boyz II Men. Very touching. :)
Find out if you will have an entire song just for the two of you. We had one song that started with the bride and her dad and groom and his mom. Then halfway through the song, we stopped briefly while the other two parents joined their spouses and the bride and groom danced. The bride chose a song that she and her daddy really liked while she was growing up but was a nice song for all to dance to. It was "Everything I Do, I Do It For You" by Bryan Adams. I hope you have a future daughter-in-law that is asking what you would like.
My husband and his mom danced to "Your gonna miss this" by Trace Adkins
Congrats to your son! I love the 'classic' songs, It's a Wonderful World, anything by the Rat Pat, etc... have you asked him? Or is he leaving it up to you? Hope you get some better suggestions!! Have fun with it :)
Through The Years by Kenny Rogers
Have I Told You Lately by Rod Stewart (I used to sing that to my son when he was young so I hope he picks it when the time comes...many years from now!)
You are the Sunshine of My Life
The Circle of Life
Well, mine is a real oldie, but seemed so appropriate when we used it. "Sunrise, Sunset" from "Fiddler on the Roof". No matter what you dance to, you and your son will enjoy it. YMCA or Chicken Dance -- probably not good ones. ;)
My son just got married in Sept, we danced to "Simple Man" by Lynyrd Skynyrd, which was very fitting.
what about something uncoventional like a salsa song? there are oodles of them posted on you tube.
There are two that come to mind... Memories by Barbra Streisand and the other is Unforgettable by Nat King Cole.
A Song For My Son by Mikki Viereck
I'd go with something classic, like In My Life, by the Beatles.
