Everyone who’s ever been a wedding guest knows that one of the most touching moments of any reception is the moment when the father of the bride dances with his daughter. That father-daughter relationship is much celebrated. But what of mother-son? More and more, an emphasis is being placed on helping the mother celebrate her son's new life.

And with that celebration come a variety of song choices to be used during the wedding reception. Although obviously not every father-daughter song can be turned into a mother-son song (Don't try "Butterfly Kisses," for instance.), many work either way. Songs such as Mariah Carey's "Hero," Anne Murray's "Could I Have This Dance" or Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" are good examples.

Some other songs that work specifically for the mother-daughter event include "A Song for My Son" by Mikki Viereck and "A Song for Mama" by Boyz II Men. There are scores more. Ask a wedding planner for suggestions, check with your married friends and family, or just look at the list below of Groom Mother Songs.
