i need your help.the wedding we went to Saturday night gave us both a few ideas (no, Ryan Charisma, we're not going to sing a duet of You're the Top). the most notable involves the Groom's Dance with his Mother. long story short, we're going to dance with our mom's at the same time. yes it will provide a challenge for the photographer, but if they're worth what we're paying, they can handle it.
here's where you (all) come in:
what are good songs for a guy to dance with is mother to?
i've googled it and this is what i came up with:
the First Time Ever I Saw Your Face~ Roberta Flack
Because You Loved Me~ Celine Dion
Hero~ Mariah Carey
the Wonder of You~ Elvis
That's Amore~ Dean Martin
In My Life~ Bette Midler
I Remember You~ George Michael
is it me or are some of those a little too...Oedipal..?
I'm thinking something along the lines of Wind Beneath My Wings without the cheese factor.
suggestions, please!

how bout "your beautiful" or go the typical italian wedding route "oh mama"
Barry Manilow "I am Your Child" is a great song and very gay positive without saying so:
I am your child.
Wherever you go, you take me, too.
Whatever I know, I learn from you.
Whatever I do, you taught me to do.
I am your child.
And I am your chance.
Whatever will come, will come from me.
Tomorrow is won, by winning me.
Whatever I am, you taught me to be.
I am your hope,
I am your chance,
I am your child.
Also, don't know if you plan on dancing with your mothers-in-law, but I found a good song for my husband and Mom to dance to, from the soundtrack of "James and the Giant peach" "We're family"
Take a little time
Just look at where we are
We've come very, very far together
And if I might say so
And if I might say so too
We wouldn't have got anywhere
If it weren't for you, boy
Love is the sweetest thing
Love never comes just when you think it will
Love is the way we feel for you
We're family, we're family, we're family
All of us and you
Think of where we'd be
If we were on our own
(We'd be dead!)
You're what holds us all together
And if I might say so
And if we might say so too
We never could love anyone
As much as we love you
Love is the strangest thing
Love does exactly what it wants to do
Love...
Boy, you know it's true
We're family, we're family, we're family
Me, Me, Me, Me, Me, Me
And you!
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Without you there'd be no us
Love is the sweetest thing
Love does exactly what it wants to do
Love is the way we feel for you
We're family, we're family
We're family
Me and you
Just some ideas....keep us posted on your wedding plans. I love when boys marry boys ... brings back fond memories...(and we;ve done it 6 times LOL)
I really like Andrea Bocelli...perfect song would be "ama credi e vai"
A Song for Mama by Boyz II Men is absolutely beautiful. You should look up the lyrics.
But, I haven't slow danced since...highschool? :P So I can't tell if it's too fast.
