    Hello Ladies

     Ok after my dilemma of having a second wedding over..

    Here I am in full planning mode. Just one problem now... My dad and mom have converted to seven day Adventist. And he (dad) will not be able to dance with me. I understand and respect that. However I do have a son from my first marriage and I was thinking he could dance with me instead of my dad. I mean for the longest it was just me and him. Until I met my FH it was just my son and me. We are really close and I think it would be a nice way to let him know how much he means to me that day too. Now to pick a song for my son and I??

    I think it sounds like a beautiful idea! I'm glad to see you respect your dads beliefs. Your wedding will be amazing, and what could be more sweet than a mother and her son, who has stood by her through it all!

    Will your FI be doing a mother/son dance with his mother also? You could combine the two and both have a mother/son dance together, unless having different songs is important to you.

    A Mother/Son dance would be absolutely lovely. As a single mom, I can totally relate to that special closeness we have with our children.

    Have you heard the song "Better" by Toby Lightman? It's the most amazing Mother/Son song I've ever heard, I love it. Here are the lyrics:

     

    He'll be enough to make you cry
    He'll be enough to open your eyes
    To all the little things that make this world better
    He'll give you love you never knew
    He'll give his heart only to you
    And he'll make your life better

    So when he comes to you in the middle of the night
    Cause he's scared to be alone in the dark
    You'll tell him everything's gonna be alright

    Cause I will be your light
    I will be your night
    I will be that star in the sky who watches over you

    You'll tell him everything you know
    You'll tell him "oh the places you'll go"
    So you can be a good man and
    make this world better.
    You'll give him all the love you have
    Even when he makes you so mad
    Keep in mind, that he made your life better.

    So when he comes to you and he's so confused
    Because he wants to give his heart to another
    You'll tell him everything's gonna be just fine

    Cause I will be your light
    And when the years are going by too fast
    and he's growing up to be big and strong
    Know his love for you will last
    Even when he doesn't say it to your face
    Even when you have to put him in his place
    Know that he's a love that nothing in this
    world can ever replace

    Aww guys I am in tears just thinking about it... I hope I am not a hot mess the day of my wedding as I am just going thru a selection of songs for my little man and me.  We are really silly with each other all the time. And to show our personality and relationship. We can end the dance to can’t touch this by MC Hammer. I mean I embarrass him all the time by doing that dance either way. But it makes him smile...And say why I don’t have a normal mother...

    He loves it... Hammer time Laughing

    I'm sort of in the same position my son is 3 my FH has been there since he was around 6 months old. The song "better" made me cry. I'm starting to think of my sons wedding day even though he's only 3. I may use that to do a dance with me to. I'm not doing a father daughter dance.

    I think thats a very cute idea! My suggestions...   (If you like 'older' music) "Sweet Child of mine" by Carole King.  Or Nitty Gritty Dirt Bands "Dance Little Jean"

    I will also be doing a dance with my son. He will be 13 at the time of the wedding and my dad passed away 5 years ago so it will be very special. We are dancing to "In My Life" by the Beatles :)
