Times of your life, Paul Anka....I danced with my dad to this many years ago, it’s kind of corny, but it still brings tears to my eyes when I hear it😍

My son got married almost five years ago.  His bride chose the mother/son dance song - My Biggest Fan by Backstreet Boys.  Great lyrics and fit our mother/son relationship perfectly.   I get choked up just thinkin' about it!

Congratulations! My oldest son married three years ago. I also take songs literally...lol! I wanted one with lyrics that were meaningful to us. I also didn't want one of the ones that I heard at most every wedding. I ended up choosing "A song for my son", by Mikki Viereck. I love the lyrics. Beautiful song and just right for my first born.

Hi @Shorty2U  

Congrats on the upcoming wedding.  I've not read through the suggestions, so I apologize if some of the songs have  been suggested already.  My gf just went through this selection process . Here is her list. 

Humble and Kind, Tim McGraw

My Wish, Rascal Flatts

@Shorty2U: Congrats to you, mama and to the happy couple! I was in your shoes as MOG last summer.

Like you, I took choice of our mother/son dance song seriously. DS and I are both professional musiciansm as is the bride. He gave me choices but retained final approval, LOL!

In My Life was a top contender, but I did not think I could get through it dry-eyed. The bride and her father chose the Rascall Flatts song. No country for me.

In the end I/ we chose: I Just Can't Stop Loving You by Michael Jackson because we are both fans of his music, I liked the tempo, beautiful ballad, it was neither too short or too long and it was on the band's play list.

Enjoy!

Louis Armstrong:  "It's a Wonderful World."

My vote, as well.  My son and I danced to this at his wedding some twenty years ago.  I cry every time I hear this song.  Part of the wonderful world it foretold was our two wonderful grandchildren and his wife as such a wonderful addition to our family.

To me, this is perfect!  It is a beautiful song, a classic, and NOT some tear jerker song implying that the MOG is not happy about her baby getting married.  Please start off on a positive happy note welcoming the marriage.  It is the best gift you can give.

DS is getting married soon and has chosen all of the music for the reception.  He is trying to surprise me,  but I'm afraid I will be a blubbering mess when the dance happens.  He has great taste, so I will trust him.
