What are some first dance songs for a groom and his mum?

For a groom and his mum, the song should honour their relationship and feel genuine. 'You Raise Me Up' is a popular choice because it speaks of support and encouragement. 'A Song for Mama' is direct and loving, written specifically for mothers. 'Forever Young' carries a wish for a good life, which many mums feel for their sons. If you want something lighter, 'The Best' by Tina Turner is fun and full of praise. 'Simple Man' by Lynyrd Skynyrd has a gentle, reflective feel, though check the lyrics to make sure they suit you. You might also think about 'My Wish' by Rascal Flatts, which expresses hopes for the future. Think about the tempo and mood you want. A slow song gives time for a quiet dance, while an upbeat one can feel more celebratory. Consider your mum's taste in music as well. She may love a particular artist or era. Play the song for her before you decide. If she gets emotional or smiles, that is a good sign. Keep the dance short if you feel shy, around two minutes is plenty. The focus is on sharing a moment, not performing. Choose something that feels like you, and the dance will feel natural.
