Absolutely my first choice.

If you both are dancers, find a song you both can fast dance to and have a wonderful time of it.  Everyone already knows, you love each other and it's not like you are passing him on to someone else.  You all can share in the togetherness of being a family for many years to come.  Make and create a fun memory for everyone.

 

Came back to add: I didn't know this song.  Looked up and read the words.  I would never have made it through that song.  I think I cry too easily.  But he's an only child too.

My son does not like to be the center of attention, so I told him we did not have to have a dance at his wedding. .At the reception I was called out to the dance floor & surprised by my son with a dance to: A Song for my Son. it is beautiful, Had a tough time keeping the tears in check ! Enjoy your Special day with him !

This was played at My Son’s Wedding 19 years ago this past June. Very touching song and I thought very appropriate. A Song for My Son!

OMG, I have three sons.  I had never heard that song, A Song for My Son.

Made it thru two verses and could not take it anymore and had to turn it off.  There is no way I could dance to that without balling.

Re: Songs for mom & son - wedding

I have four song to suggest:

1. Sweetest Devotion by Adele ( this is new and fresh, a song written for her son).

2. God Only Knows by The Beach Boys ( my favorite Beach Boys song and a masterpiece).

3. What A Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong ( don't know why but this song gets me all the time).

4. In My Life by The Beatles ( it's a beautiful song and hey, it's The Beatles what more is there to say).

I chose "In my Life" by the Beatles for our song at my son's wedding 11 years ago. He is an old soul, and loves the Beatles, and that is one of my favorite songs. Not easy to dance to, however! If my youngest ever gets married, I would love to dance to "I hope you dance", since it really speaks to me about him.
