Ok my wedding is going to be slightly untraditional. I have no relationship with my father so he is not coming. My mother passed away last October. First off my son is walking me down the aisle. So i was planning on dancing a song with him. Then I would like a combined dance where my fiance dances with his mom and I dance with his dad. I would like to incorporate my mom in this and her favorite singers were Elvis Presley and Alan Jackson. They have a TON of love songs but i am having a hard time picking one for this occasion. Does anyone of any suggestions on what songs would be appropriate for this type of dance???? Help please!!!

Alan Jackson has a fairly new song called "Red on a Rose". It refers to being loved like all kids love pennies and how you feel like red on a rose. It is a great love song that could totally pull together what you are trying to achieve. I am in the same situation and am most defiantly considering this song. And plus your mom would love it. Best wishes and bless you and your new family.

I was just married 1/1/07 and my dad picked out our song as a surprise. I didnt know until the music played that night what he picked, but it was "Unforgettable" by Nat King Cole and I must say it was perfect. I would definatly reccomend it to anyone! I wish you the best!

Honestly, I would skip all of this, except perhaps the dance with your son. Really, all of those dances are completely optional, and it sounds as though you're just going to confuse people. Remember that most guests could care less about watching the special dances, except for the first dance.
