Re: is anyone else having trouble getting their fh to pick out a mother/son song???

My FH first said he wasn't going to do a mother/son dance but I convinced him it was necessary and would mean a lot to his mom. Now he's like, 'can't we just join you and your dad when you dance?' I pointed out that if we use a song that's about a father/daughter, that option wouldn't make sense. So who knows what he's going to do.

Re: is anyone else having trouble getting their fh to pick out a mother/son song???

I'm having a hard time getting him to pick our first dance let alone the mother son dance. I told him that he has to pick one, but thats all I'm doing. He can call his mom and they can figure it out. Thats one thing I'm not worrying about!

Re: is anyone else having trouble getting their fh to pick out a mother/son song???

FH wanted to do In my Life by the Beatles...and his mom kept dropping hints how much she loved Celine Dion....so he gave in and is using Because You Loved Me. He said at least he won't cry because he hates that song.

YESSSSS!!!!!!!! he is driving me nuts!!! And we have to meet with our DJ on Friday!!!!!!!! He better pick something soon!!!
XOXOXO

Re: is anyone else having trouble getting their fh to pick out a mother/son song???

he actually picked i hope you dance, after i sat him down and made him focus on music choices w/ me, haha.

it helped that i had like 10-15 songs already dl-ed to listen straight through a peice of each and he picked real quick. try that.

on behalf of the grooms out there, I'll just say that this is something we NEVER thought about until now. Y'all know how much I've been helping FW with the wedding planning (you could almost say that on the vendor side of things, she's been helping me), and some of you know I'm proudly a music nerd. And yet, I still have nothing for my mother/son dance. Heck, i'm not even 100 percent sure we're doing one (haven't talked to Mom about it... pretty sure she'll want to do it, but not definite).

For some of us, if nothing immediately jumps to mind, there's paralysis that comes with having no clue about these things and not wanting to mess it up.

I know we're slow sometimes, but we're trying, we really are.

that makes me feel better, not even stealth groom knows what song to use. thanks stealth groom!!

Re: is anyone else having trouble getting their fh to pick out a mother/son song???

Please, I can't even get my FH to get his friend's addresses from work. Everytime I bring up the mother/son dance thing he just ignores me. Him and his mom are so not close like that and I am sure neither one of them has a clue b/c they don't have that kind of closeness. Ugghhh...

So yes, you are not the only one having this problem...

Re: is anyone else having trouble getting their fh to pick out a mother/son song???

Good! It's not just my FH!!

Re: is anyone else having trouble getting their fh to pick out a mother/son song???

We are doing the calypso version of somewhere over the rainbow. I love that song and his mom used to sing it to him

he has like no clue. i know its not my problem, but i wish he would do some reseach and pick something.

Goodness...I dont even want to think about that....FH is going to take forever to chose one.

Re: is anyone else having trouble getting their fh to pick out a mother/son song???

Nope FH’s mom is deceased, but I am sure if she was here he would be more than likely to use “A song for Mama” by Boyz II Men, maybe you should check it out.

Re: is anyone else having trouble getting their fh to pick out a mother/son song???

He thinks he can wait for the last MINUTE

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Phew. As long as I'm assuaging your fears, good. Seriously, I was ready to propose before FW would've said yes, and still, the mother/son dance song is still not chosen.
