is anyone else having trouble getting their fh to pick out a mother/son song???

Re: is anyone else having trouble getting their fh to pick out a mother/son song???

My FH picked unforgettable, by Nat king Cole

Re: is anyone else having trouble getting their fh to pick out a mother/son song???

my FH told me to stop stressing about it and he will take care of it. That coming from the man who can't decide on our first dance song as well.

Re: is anyone else having trouble getting their fh to pick out a mother/son song???

I am having the same problem with my FH. We mentioned Wind Beneath My Wings and my FMIL started crying. We are now thinking of In MY Life by The Beatles, Do You Remember by Phil Collins or I Am Your Child by Barry Manilow. Hope this helps

Re: is anyone else having trouble getting their fh to pick out a mother/son song???

No joke....ive been trying to get FH to pick a song for MONTHS. Now, we have our final meeting with our DJ in a week and a half and we have to give him all our song choices....guess who STILL hasnt chosen a song...yep...FH I swear I could smack him sometimes

Theres no getting around it. You could tell him months and months in advanced and bug him every week to pick one and he'll still wait til 2 days before your final DJ meeting. Its a guy thing...their favorite word is procrastinate....and they practice that verb like theres no tomorrow

Re: is anyone else having trouble getting their fh to pick out a mother/son song???

We aren't up to that hurdle yet

I asked him and he is like 'umm I dunno' and I know that this is a VERY big deal for my FMIL, as it is for all mothers so I want him to pick something special. We'll see

thats the way i feel about it. i want his mom to feel speical and i dont want him to pick some random song the dj suggests.

Re: is anyone else having trouble getting their fh to pick out a mother/son song???

My FH and FMIL picked The Rod Stewart version of 'I'll Stand by You'.

Re: is anyone else having trouble getting their fh to pick out a mother/son song???

we are letting his mother decide on the song.

Re: is anyone else having trouble getting their fh to pick out a mother/son song???

Yes..Yes..Yes.. His mother and him have no clue and they are putting it off. I don't get it because my FH is so into music, yet this part of the wedding is like no biggy....I am the one stressing..Go figure

Re: is anyone else having trouble getting their fh to pick out a mother/son song???

dont even want to think about it - i'll probably tell the dj just to pick something if he cant decide

Re: is anyone else having trouble getting their fh to pick out a mother/son song???

We were originally gonna do a combo mother/son & mother/daughter dance to wind beneath my wings or because you loved me (no father/daughter dance because my dad had a stroke 13 years ago and is in a nursing home for the rest of his life so he can't be there ) but then I found a really beautiful song to dance with my mom to so now he has no clue what to dance with his mom to. I told him he should just dance to one of the original songs but now he's not sure...We have time but he's so indecisive at times. LOL

Re: is anyone else having trouble getting their fh to pick out a mother/son song???

I have no idea. I suggested 'You Raise Me Up' by Josh Groban because it's sweet and it has a little 'Braveheart' to it and it was immediatly vetoed...so I have no idea. All the songs FMIL likes are romantic songs, like she wants to marry her son!! EW!!!

Re: is anyone else having trouble getting their fh to pick out a mother/son song???

I let his mom pick it, that solved that problem.

Re: is anyone else having trouble getting their fh to pick out a mother/son song???

he hasnt even thought of this yet...

Re: is anyone else having trouble getting their fh to pick out a mother/son song???

on behalf of the grooms out there, I'll just say that this is something we NEVER thought about until now. Y'all know how much I've been helping FW with the wedding planning (you could almost say that on the vendor side of things, she's been helping me), and some of you know I'm proudly a music nerd. And yet, I still have nothing for my mother/son dance. Heck, i'm not even 100 percent sure we're doing one (haven't talked to Mom about it... pretty sure she'll want to do it, but not definite).

For some of us, if nothing immediately jumps to mind, there's paralysis that comes with having no clue about these things and not wanting to mess it up.

I know we're slow sometimes, but we're trying, we really are.
