Bride/ Mother of bride dance

I don’t think it is weird or awkward at all! As a guest I would find it very sweet and endearing. Plus I bet your mom will be very touched. 😊

It's not at all weird to dance with your mom and either of those songs would be appropriate - perhaps you could let your mom choose? You don't want to do both as you'll start losing people's attention.

You should totally dance with your mom. I'd pick one song (or maybe have your mom choose). The parent-child dances aren't very entertaining to guests, so any more than two songs dedicated to that (one for you and your parent, one FH and his parent) would be too much.

My dad died when I was in college, so the plan at our wedding was do to a single parent-child dance where I danced with my mom and my husband danced with his mom at the same time to the same song. That way it didn't feel so bad that my dad wasn't there (father-daughter dances at weddings generally make me feel bad and cry sad tears), but my FMIL still got that experience with her son, and we only bored our guests for three or four minutes instead of ten!

Not weird at all! My mom is giving me away and we're having a mother daughter dance!

I don't think it is weird at all, it is actually sweet! I LOVE this song!! I actually plan on doing something non traditional such as singing this song and having my FH and my mother dance to it. I feel it is the perfect song for my mom and I and I would love her to dance with my FH to it.

I am completely on board with dancing with your mom. I think it is a sweet gesture.

However, a lot of people lose sight that the song, "You Are My Sunshine" is actually a man lamenting that his love broke up with him, and he wants her back.

I'm dancing with my mom.

My dad passed when I was in college, and father-daughter dances at weddings are always really hard for me. We are planning on combining the father-daughter and mother-dance dances into a single parent child dance, with my dancing with my mom, my husband dancing with his mom, and (possibly) even having my husband's sister join us with their dad at the end.

I have debated for months and months about how I was going to get passed the fact that my father would not be at my wedding and I would not have anyone to dance with. My dad passed away about 4 years ago. For the longest time, I simply threw out the Mother/son dance and father/ daughter dance all together. As we get closer to our wedding day I feel guilty taking away that moment from my FMIL and my FH, so I have created a time for me and my mom to dance together at our wedding and a time for the mother/ son dance. This way, I think both mothers will be extremely happy and spotlighted.
