Not to be outdone, the mother-son wedding dance is a cherished tradition shared between the groom and his mom and a sweet complement to the father-daughter dance. In most wedding entertainment timelines, the mother-son dance follows immediately after the father-daughter dance and much like the bride’s dance with her father, the song choice for mother and son should be sentimental with an easy tempo to dance to. Often the song choice is a natural one based on a song that already has meaning for the groom and his mom, sometimes this is not the case!
