In our opinion, the often overlooked Mother Son Dance is just as important as the First Dance or Father Daughter Dance. The bond the groom shares with his mom, whether she’s the biological mom, step-mom, adoptive mom, grandma, or mother-like figure, is a special and should not forgotten.  After all, she loved you first!  Here is our list of the Top 14 Mother Son Dance Songs for you to embrace your bond at your wedding reception. We’ve also included a few Latin Mother Son Dances. In the future, we plan to dedicate a whole post to Latin Parent dances.
