Song for mom as the bride.

Julia, on October 18, 2011 at 9:43 PM Posted in Planning 0 12

I am getting married in June for the second time. My son is walking me down the aisle as my father is no longer living. I am looking for a song to dance to with him. All of the songs that seem "perfect", end up being for the son as the groom.

Any good ideas on a son/mother song?

    I went to a wedding where the groom danced with his mother to You've Got a Friend in Me. The song doesn't have any deep meaning, but it was really cute. I hope you find something!

    I think I figured it out! I used to sing, "You Are My Sunshine" when he was a baby and toddler. It may sound like a corny song, but what a perfect song once shared by only the two of us!

    My son also walked me down the isle. I danced with my son and my husband danced with his sister at the same time to There you'll be by Faith Hill.

    Also have you check the songs link on here? They have some good recommendations.

    Good luck.

    When brother and sister got married we did a family dance of Through the Years. I am not having a father dance but will dance with my son , I was thing, Alison Krauss When you say nothing at all, because I taught all my nieces and my son that song but I like You got a friend in me because he loves Toy Story

    I'm getting married Saturday, and I will be dancing to My One True Friend with my son, which is exactly what he is to me. I hope you find a song that speaks to your heart.
