    This is something I wondered about too. My son will also be 12.  I have a 7yr old as well. Their dad died when they were 5 and 2. I want them included but I don't know how it would work and if I should dance with each son to a different song??

    The one I was thinking about for my older son is, Have I told you lately that I love you ( Rob Stewart )

    My son will be 13 when I get married and I am having him walk me down the aisle. I have been thinking about "Drops of Jupiter" by Train or "I knew I loved you" by Savage Garden. The one by Savage Garden I love the most because the words remind me of when I was pregnant with him. It's a real sweet song. Hope that helps:)

    How about "I'll stand by you" by the Pretenders? the song bascially says no matter what happens I'll always be there for you

    </div><div>My boys were 3 yo and 2 months old when their father died. My youngest and I are dancing to "I Love You This Big" by Scotty McCreery because since he was little weve done this special thing that is part of the song. my oldest on the other hand weve never had a "song". My friend just mentioned "He Gets That From Me" by Reba McEntire. it fits us so well I cried.</div>

    There is a song I have loved forever, but couldn't dance to it with my son, because I also have a daughter, and they were NOT going to dance in a 3-way, LOL. It always gives me chills.

    It's by Carly Simon, written for her son, called "Love of my Life"........really for a mom & child. Not sure if it would be awkward to play at a wedding to dance with your child when you just got married.

    I have nothing to add other than I think this is so sweet.  I would get all choked up watching your dances with your sons.






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.

    My fiance and I are going to dance with our son to I knew I loved you. But he's going to dance with his mother to a different song.
