Ok so FH's mom passed away when he was 11 and he doesn't have many family members especially female relatives, the aunt he would have danced with is probably not even coming. He is going to dance the mother/son dance with my mother. My question is: what song would you ladies suggest? They are def. pretty close, we have been together 7 years and right now (to save some money) we live with my parents so she is def. like a mother to him. The fact that he doesn't have a mother to dance with really upsets me but he will always have my mother Any suggestions would be helpful.....

Re: Kind of a sad question
Not sure how helpful this could be.. I googled mother/son first dance songs for a few suggestions & this is the list I got... It's a lot to look thru but depending on yours & FH's taste in music I'm sure there's got to be something there that seems good!
You’ve Got A Friend – James Taylor That’s What Friends are For – Dionne Warwick and friends Friends – Michael W Smith Lean On Me – Bill Withers or Club Nuveau Shower the People – James Taylor You Raise Me Up – Josh Groban Wind Beneath My Wings – Bette Midler Love Can Build A Bridge – The Judds Return to Pooh Corner – Kenny Loggins Through the Years – Kenny Rogers I Hope You Dance – Leann Womack What A Wonderful World – Louis Armstrong You’ll Be In My Heart – Phil Collins Circle of Life – Elton John Forever Young – Rod Stewart I Will Remember You – Sarah McLachlan You Are The Sunshine Of My Life – Stevie Wonder Isn’t She Lovely – Stevie Wonder Moon Dance – Van Morrison The Prayer – Andrea Bocelli Stand By Me – Ben E King You Decorated My Life – Kenny Rogers Change The World – Babyface and Eric Clapton Waiting on the World To Change – John Mayer Lean On Me – Bill Withers One Love – Bob Marley Reach Out and Touch – Diana Ross Ain’t No Mountain High What The World Needs Now Walk Of Life – Dire Straits Fly Me To The Moon – Frank Sinatra The Way you Look Tonight – Frank Sinatra IN My Life - Beatles

Re: Kind of a sad question
You could always skip the mother dance... Im skipping mine, mine passed away too. We're actually not doing parent dances now that I think of it.

Re: Kind of a sad question
maybe they can pick out a song together? or have your mom pick one out.. i know my mom thinks of my FH as a son let alone future son inlaw.. im sure if she did that he would be very touched

Aw, that is very sweet that they have such a close relationship. Def one of the suggestions above would be appropriate

Re: Kind of a sad question
I have the same issue. Both of my FH;s parents are not alive. I spoke with him and originally said that we would cut out the parent dances. He was like absolutely not you should dance with your dad and I will dance with you mom! I am so happy that he feels close enough to her to feel comfortable about that.
Unfortunately I am not much help with what song because I have the same questioN!

Would it help if you combined the father/daughter and 'mother/son' dance into one? That might make it easier to pick a song.
I like this idea.. maybe have you start off and then he can ask your mom to dance in the middle?

Re: Kind of a sad question
I'm in the same boat...my FH's mom passed when he was in high school. I think he is going to dance with his older sister, but we have no idea to which song yet.

My Wish by rascal flatts! Love that song! My dad is in a wheel chair so I cant dance with him. I'm gonna do a slide show of us from when I was born and play that song.
