Help - Mother/Son Dance

Jun 19, 2007 12:24

So, my FH is terribly with picking out songs. He had decided a while ago that he really wanted to dance with his mother to One Wing in the Fire by Trent Tomlinson. However, this isn't really mother/son-y and I was dreading it. My FH's father had been very ill earlier this year, and I thought that this sone might have the wrong implication for my ( Read more... )

As tacky as it sounds, my fiance and his mom will be dancing to The Perfect Fan by the backstreet boys. Our DJ suggested it because my fiance couldn't come up with something either. You can listen to it here. If you sort of just forget that it's the Backstreet Boys, it's pretty decent.

Thanks - I'll have him listen to it, although the Backstreet Boys is going to be a hard sell for him!

Our DJ played the song, then told Matt who it was by.

If you don't find anything you like, you could always ask your DJ (if you're having one).

LOL - my FH is the DJ! Actually, his partener is playing the wedding, but I'm downloading the music.

Unforgettable! It's sung by Nat King Cole and his Daughter Natalie Cole. I think it's a great song :) That's what my FH and his mother will be dancing to :)

My FH and his mother will dance to I'll stand by you - by The Pretenders

and for anyone who might not know the song ... a few lyrics.

Oh, why you look so sad?
Tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Dont be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
cause Ive seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you
You dont know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less

Ill stand by you
Ill stand by you
Wont let nobody hurt you
Ill stand by you

He's undecided on it, and his mother hates it. He's asked me for input, and that's why I'm here.

And actually, the only thing I have planned in my wedding that is *about me* is my dress, and I chose that with my FH in mind. He has given me input on everything from the venue to the invitations, so I kind of resent the slight barb about "the one part of the wedding that isn't about me." I don't see a wedding as about one person, but about my fiance and I solidifying our own family while joining two others, and this is how we've planned. This is why I want the song he choses to dance with his mother to be something that they will both be happy about.
