FH wants what song for Mother/Son dance?!?!!?!?!

That song almost made it as my processional song. No way does that seem appropriate for a Mom/Son dance, IMO.

Make a list and go over it with him. Maybe he'll change his mind and choose something that you suggest.

He only wants it b/c it's her fav song.

I'm not familiar with the song, so I can't speak as to whether I think it's an inappropriate choice for them. Typically, I would say that your FH and his mom should get to pick the song that they dance to, but since it bothers you so much, I think you should just be open with your FH about how it makes you feel.

Ask him what he thinks about the lyrics, and what it is about that song that makes him want to dance with his mom to it.

Good call Laura.

I'm not familiar with the song, so I looked up the lyrics. I don't think it seems like too terrible of a choice, to be honest. But if you don't like it, I'd definitely let him know. He may not change his mind (maybe this is one of those things where you have to let the groom have his way??), but you don't want to keep it bottled up inside either. Hope you can find a compromise!

Yeah, that sort of makes me uncomfortable and I don't even know the two of them. Have an honest conversation with him - hopefully his mind can be changed.

Nafina, the song is "For My Wedding".

Oh hahahaha, I thought she was saying he wants Don Henleys, for my wedding. Like HER wedding, not the song titled "for my wedding".... my mistake lol

The song doesnt seem too inappropriate, but at the same time reading the lyrics - it seems like it should be the song for the two of you, NOT him & his mom. If I was a guest & I really knew the lyrics, I'd feel uncomfortable. Why is it her favorite song, it's a specific song about a man's wedding, but does it have any particular meaning between them? Usually you pick a song based on meaning, or that it pertains to the 2 of them. This song is a song about what the man wants on his wedding day, has nothing to do with a mother.... JMO

I don't see a big issue with this. Why does it matter that he likes it because it's his mom's favorite. I think you should just let this one go and let him and her be happy

I just feel the lyrics are really for us versus him and his mother.

I guess I'll have to bring other suggestions to him and see where he stands. Knowing the lyrics just makes me really uncomfortable.

He may not even really be familiar with the lyrics. Definitely a good conversation to have together.

Men don't usually listen to the lyrics in songs. While they are definitely more relevant to the bride/groom, I don't see anything overtly romantic or sexual. You have enough problems with your FMIL-- i'd choose your battles carefully.
