Mother son dance

It's the mother of the groom and the groom, so typically they're close. We're doing one and they're dancing to Stand by Me. If your FH and his mom aren't close, you don't have to do one. It's up to him and her.

Why does your relationship with FMIL matter? It is FH dancing with her, not you.

Also, I see it very commonly. We will be doing a combined father/daughter and mother/son dance.

We did a "parent" dance - we combined the father/daughter dance with the mother/son dance. I have an interesting relationship with my father and was not comfortable with just us being up there, so this solved that problem. Generally, it doesn't matter if you are close with you FMIL - it matters if your FH is, since he'll be the one dancing with her. I would talk to him and see if he would want one or not.

It's for your FH and his mother. He doesn't have to its really just person preference. My FH made it clear that he wants to do one with his mom which I love. My sister just got married and her husband didn't dance with his mom and really regrets not doing it.

I love the idea of the groom having a dance with his mother, I think it is pretty customary from previous weddings I have been in and ones I have attended.

My FH and FMIL aren't doing one because they don't think they can dance. I've tried showing them they need to be professionals but they aren't comfortable with it so I doubt we'll do one.

We're most likely doing a combined parent dance, but even if it's separate, you aren't the one dancing with your MIL, FH is. If he's close with her, it's a way for him to acknowledge her and their relationship.

Yeah, don't understand what your relationship with her has to do with this. I see them all the time at weddings. it should be between your FMIL and your FI. It really is MOG's one and only moment in the whole thing and it means a lot to many.

Great idea!

We did a combined father/daughter mother /son dance

Okay thanks for the advice. I know it's his dance but I'm the one planning it. So far he had shown no interest in it. So I'll bring it up to him and see what he thinks.

Any suggestions on songs for combined dances or mother son dance

See what your FMIL thinks. Your FH might not care about it, but she might be upset if you don't have one. My FH and his mom are dancing to the first song his parents ever danced to together. I think it's so sweet!

We are doing the mother-son. Not doing father - daughter, as my dad is not invited.

We did both. I've always seen them at weddings and love them.

We are covering both with same song.

We're doing both (separately).

I've never been to a wedding where there wasn't a mother and groom dance either separately or at the same time as the bride and her father.

I;ve always seen it! My husband danced with his mom at our wedding to a more upbeat song rather than a really slow song. It was really cute

Definitely ask his mom if she has anything in mind!
