Need 1 song for combined father/daughter and mother/son dance

PikaTrips · August 2012

My FI and I would like to combine the father/daughter and mother/son dances. We'll both be dancing with our respective parents to the same one song.

We need a song that isn't too much about our childhoods because my FI is dancing with his 'adopted mom' (our best man's mother) as his birth mother will not be in attendance (my FI didn't meet his best man & his family until college).

Any song ideas?

Here's a variety of songs that would work!

How Sweet it is to be Loved by You by James Taylor

Unforgettable by Nat King Cole and Natalie Cole

Love Me Tender by Norah Jones

You're the Inspiration by Chicago

You Raise Me Up by Josh Groban

We are also combining ours and need a song, too. Thanks for the suggestions!

What a wonderful world by Louis Armstrong or somewhere over the rainbow are both sweet songs that aren't love songs. I also really like unforgettable, though I prefer the solo version.

Not sure if this would work for any of you, but I used Soul of my Soul by Michael Bolton for my bride/son dance. Ever since hearing the song years and years ago, I knew I would dance to it with my son, I just thought it would be at his wedding, not mine! We might use it for both

My daughter just danced with her dad to "Sweet Child of Mine"....her favorite song!! Her husband and his mom joined in the middle....it was perfect!!!

For the combined parent dance I am thinking of "I Hope You Dance" by LeAnn Womack...

if your not opposed to country, then i would do My Wish by Rascal Flatts. I'm dancing with my dad to the song at my wedding but we were considering it for my fiance and his mom also. and its not about childhood at all. mostly about the future.
