Mother and Son Wedding Song:

Unlike the father and daughter dance, the mother and son wedding song is a relatively recent addition to the formal wedding dances. It honors the special relationship a mother has with her son and the fact that the son has now chosen to leave his parents and live his own life with his new wife. The mother and son wedding song is of course optional. Some couples who do not want to drag the whole formal dance thing on for too long actually do a parent's dance with the groom dancing with his mother and the bride with her father at the same time. You can change half way through the dance and have the bride dance with her new father in law and the groom with his new mother in law if you like. This way everyone is included in one song and then the party can continue.
