My husband and his mother danced to You'll Be In My Heart at our wedding :) it was especially touching since they had a brief falling out for a few years but made amends once we were engaged and now they're closer than ever. She could hardly stop herself from crying.

My son was born 6 1/2 weeks early. I remember rocking him in the NICU and singing "You'll Be In My Heart" to him. The line in it about the baby being small yet he seems so strong really hit me then.

You’ll be in my Heart still chokes me up. It will always reminds me of my childhood memories and my mom.

Phil Collins' song, You'll be in my heart, is one of my favourite Disney songs, and a perfect song to Mom's Day.

Searched for the song I wanted to dance with my son to this September at his wedding and the PERFECT song...literally written for this mother/son song for his wedding is "A Song for My Son" by Mikki Viereck. Waltz tempo that's slow enough to feel safe. I am choreographing easy steps for my "less than confident dancer" son. Looking forward to practicing with him so we can surprise his bride and all guests and looking good together. Mostly, he is the only son I will ever share this dance with so it will be wonderful no matter what.

My mom is getting married this April. I misinterpreted this video and didn’t realize that this is for the son’s wedding. Man I’m 18 and I’m not ready to get married yet. My girl and I haven’t even reached a year yet lmao. I’m trying to find songs to save with my mom on HER wedding day lol.

When my oldest married I choose Lennon's "Beautiful Boy"as my son was a huge Beatles fan, this November my younger son is getting married & we will dance to "If I Could" ny Regina Bell because it says all the things Id do for my children if I could!

[amber]

"Humble and Kind" by Tim McGraw is on my list for when my sons get married

[Lochnereads]

My mom and I are dancing to you’ll be in my heart 😭❤️

[marygrott]

My son recently got engaged. I hope to dance to The Man You Have Become, by No Limitz. Perfect song that describes him and our relationship!

[dodgedude]

Mine last year was “I hope you dance” by Lee Ann Womack. I still tear up whenever I hear it

[samhernandez]

“Slow Down” by Nichole Nordeman is a great parent/child slow dance song!

[brianagrzybowski]

One married couple I know had Lady Antebellum’s “Never Alone” for their mother-son dance. Good pick. 👍🏻 Also, some version of “Forever Young” seems to be a classic for these events, whether it’s Rod Stewart or other artists.
