    Just venting here.  My fiance and I have begun discussing our music choices.  I knew something wasn't right when we were agreeing on each and every detail... and that's because we didn't get to the song he'd like to dance to with his mother.  It's ridiculous, in my opinion.  Of course I didn't let him know that, there's nothing I could/should say or do but in my mind I was like wtf?  In the nicest of tones that is...

     

    The name of the song is "Wild Flower" by New Birth.  Not my kind of music but its a nice enough song.  It's kinda pretty in fact, but lyrically its so doesn't fit.  Let me give you a few of the lyrics:

    She faced the hardest times you can imagine, and many times her eyes fall back the tears.  And when her youthful world was about to fall in, each time her slender shoulders.  For the weight of all her tears and a sorrow no one hears still rings in midnight silence in her ears

    CHORUS:
    Let her cry for she's a lady, let her dream for she's a child, let the rain fall down upon her, she's a free and gentle flower growing wild.

    How depressing is that?  Again, I'll never bring it up, this is just my opinion and I'm venting here.  I adore his mother, she has had a rough life but I'm not sure that she really wants to address it in this forum!  And for the guests, that might be a whole different kind of tearjerker.  Then again, I tend to analyze lyrics more than other people so maybe no one will notice?  Lol, ah well, gotta let him have this one.

    I think that since its his dance with his mother, he should be able to choose the song he wants.  I think alot of your guests will be more focused on watching them dance rather than listening to the actual lyrics. Has your FI talked to his mom about the song he wants?  Does she want to do it?

    I agree, I didn't say I wanted him to change it, I was just venting because I personally don't like it.  I didn't say a word to him about it because it is his choice.  He hasn't spoken to his mother about the song, he wants it to be a suprprise.

    If he wants to use that one, I would at least try to talk him into discussing it with his Mom. You don't want her to be upset while they are dancing!
