In every wedding the father dances with the bride and the mother dances with the groom. Each parent gets their opportunity to dance with their child for one last time before they venture out on their new life. A song is typically chosen for this special tradition. I have compiled a list of 10 songs for both the father daughter dance and the mother son dance.
Father/Daughter Dance:
- Butterfly Kisses by Bob Carlisle
- Daughter of Mine by John McDermott
- Wind Beneath My Wings by Bette Midler
- Hero by Mariah Carey
- A Father's Love by Joe Wodark
- Because You Loved Me by Celine Dion
- Daddy by Beyonce
- The Way You Look from Father of the Bride soundtrack
- The Men in My Little Girl's Life by Mike Douglas
- My Girl by the Temptations
Mother/Son Dance:
- Song for Mama by Boyz II Men
- My Special Angel by Bobby Helms
- Time of Your Life by Paul Anka
- Isn't She Lovely by Stevie Wonder
- Through the Years by Kenny Rogers
- Unforgettable by Nat King Cole
- Have I Told You Lately by Rod Stewart
- You're the Inspiration by Chicago

Choosing the right song may not always be easy, but always follow your heart. This will help you decide on what you want to say to your mother or your father. This is the time to thank them for all they did for you throughout the years.
