Song for combined dance of Bride/brother and Groom/mother

Jasmine, on April 21, 2019 at 17:17 Posted in Wedding reception 0 5

Hi there! Looking for a song for a combined dance of myself (bride) and brother and groom and his mother. My parent's won't be attending the wedding (it's a destination wedding). I've asked my younger brother to walk me down the aisle. We don't want to do separate dances because it'll be awkward and it's a small wedding, including us, we're 16 in total. So we thought my brother can dance with me and my FH can dance with his mother at the same time.

We're looking for a song that isn't cheesy or typical. Because it's my brother dancing with me, I don't want anything too "mushy" if that makes sense? I've listened to lots of songs I found in other forums online, but always come up with the same 10 songs. I don't mind a cover of a song, sometimes a regular song can sound so different as an acoustic cover.

Any suggestions will be appreciated, thanks!

    Welcome to the WeddingWire community, Jasmine Smiley smile

    I love the suggestion of "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong!

    Here are some more ideas I had:

    "Forever Young" by Rod Stewart
    "I’ll Stand By You" by The Pretenders
    "Home" by Phillip Phillips
    "I'll Be There" by Jackson 5
    "Days Like This" by Van Morrison

    Do you like any of these suggestions?

    We did a combined dance and used what a wonderful world. It also wasn’t very long which was nice!

    We're also having a combined dance (Bride/Dad, Groom/Mother) and finding something that's not more for dad's or mom's is tough already...so I hear ya!

    Here are the songs I think would fit well for both you and your brother, but your FH and his mom as well:

    "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong; "The Way You Look Tonight" by Frank Sinatra (or the Maroon 5 cover is good); "Stand By Me" by Ben E. King; "Lean On Me" by Bill Willthers
