Wedding ceremonies and receptions are rife with tradition, and many of those traditions are celebrations of the two families joining together.
One of the more popular traditions is the mother-son dance during the reception when the mother of the groom gets to shine on the dance floor with her son as guests watch.
Some mother-son combinations choose to go with a more traditional song for their dance, while others prefer to turn up the volume and get down to a more modern song. The following are some popular songs chosen for the mother-son dance.
* “What a Wonderful World” — Louis Armstrong
