Oh, honey, weddings! So many things to think about! Like them bride and mother dance songs. Gotta have good music, you know? Music for when they dance together. Makes me tear up just thinkin’ about it.
My granddaughter, she’s gettin’ hitched next spring. And she’s askin’ me ’bout the songs. Says I got good taste. Well, I do like a good tune. Somethin’ with heart, somethin’ you can feel in your bones, you know? She told me something about some “SEO” stuff. Said it was important for the internet thing. I just want good music for dancing.
That dance, the one with the bride and her mama, it’s a real tearjerker. I remember at my own wedding, dancing with my own dear mama. She is not here now. But when I hear the music, she is always in my heart. She always loved a good waltz. We didn’t have no fancy dances back then, but we sure knew how to have a good time.
Now, they got all kinds of songs. Fast ones, slow ones. Ones ’bout love, ones ’bout family. It’s a lot to take in, I tell ya. When my girl was little, I sang her all the old songs. “You Are My Sunshine”, that kind of thing. But, I guess a wedding is different. You need something special, somethin’ that fits the day.
So, I been thinkin’. Maybe somethin’ like that song, what’s it called? “My Girl”? Yeah, that’s a sweet one. Makes you wanna sway back and forth. I’ve got so much honey, the bees envy me, la la la. I’ve heard that a lot these days. Everyone singing it. Maybe it is a good wedding song.
And then there’s that other one, ’bout buildin’ a life and growin’ old. “Landslide,” I think it is. That one gets me right here. In the heart, you know? Reminds me of my own mama, holdin’ my hand when I was just a little thing. Teachin’ me how to walk, how to be a good person. She was my best friend, she was.
I told my granddaughter, I said, “Honey, pick a song that makes you think of your mama.” I remember when my boy got married, he danced with me to a song about trucks and building blocks. I cried like a baby, I did. He was my little boy, and there he was, all grown up and gettin’ married. Time sure does fly.
You see these young folks today, they got all these choices. Back in my day, we just had the radio. And if you were lucky, maybe a record player. Now they got those little phones, play any song you want. It’s a wonder, it is.
- Classic Songs
- Modern Songs
- Emotional Songs
- Fun Songs
Some folks like the old songs. You know the type, been around forever. Like that “My Girl” song. It is a classic.
The young folks, they like the new stuff. Fast songs. Hard for me to keep up with, to be honest. But they have fun.
These are the ones that make you cry. Like that “Landslide” one. Gets me every time. Good for a slow dance, a real heart-to-heart.
Then there’s the fun ones. The ones that make you wanna get up and move. Maybe not for the bride and her mama, but for later, when everyone’s dancin’ and havin’ a good time. Need some good music to keep the party goin’!
It’s not just the bride and her mom that dances you know. I saw the groom dance with his mom too. I heard someone call it the “mother-son” dance. They need to pick a good song too. A good song for a mom and her boy. It’s important you know. The mom, she raised that boy. She loved him since he was a baby. Now he is a man getting married. It’s a big day for the mom too.
I remember when my daughter got married, my boy danced with her. He was so little and handsome. He stepped on her toes, but she didn’t mind. She smiled and laughed. It was a special moment. One I will never forget.
So, if you’re plannin’ a wedding, don’t forget the bride and mother dance songs. And the mother-son songs too! Pick somethin’ from the heart. Somethin’ that makes you feel good. Somethin’ that you’ll remember forever. Because that’s what it’s all about, ain’t it? Makin’ memories. Good memories that will last a lifetime.
And don’t be afraid to shed a tear or two. It’s a happy day, a day full of love. Let the music play, and let the tears flow. It is okay. Just enjoy the moment. Enjoy the dance. It only happens once.
Well, I reckon that’s all I got to say about that. Just remember to choose your bride and mother dance songs wisely. And have a good time! Dance the night away. These are good old days in the making!
