Choosing a Groom and Mother Song
Although the father and daughter dance traditionally gets the most attention at a wedding reception, the groom dancing with his mother is a special moment as well. When choosing a groom and mother song, there are a number of factors to consider. For example:
- How would you describe the groom and mother's relationship? Are they very close or have they been through some difficult times in the past?
- What type of music do the groom and mother enjoy? Do they prefer country or rock?
- What songs have you selected for the other dances?
If you've hired a DJ for your wedding reception, don't forget to ask for his/her opinion on this issue. Any experienced DJ is sure to have a list of possible songs for you to consider for the groom and mother dance.
