It's interesting:"Now everyone, I'm aware that it's a particularly cold winter's day for a wedding, but don't worry... if anyone is feeling a chill running down their spine it's ..."
Watching the bride dance with her father and the groom dance with his mother is a sure way to bring on those sentimental tears at the wedding reception. Here's choose an appropriate song.

Instructions
1
Ask your father or mother what song he or she would like to dance to. If you can, go with your parent's choice. Many times, parents have selected the song long ago.
2
Research popular mother-son and father-daughter dance songs on the Internet, in the library or among your friends.
3
Consider using one of the same songs that your parents or siblings danced to at their weddings, or a song with cultural, family or ethnic significance for you.
4
Listen together to sentimental, danceable songs with appropriate lyrics.
5
Consider the appropriateness of the lyrics, once you've chosen a song. If you will be having a band perform the song, decide whether you would prefer an instrumental or sung version of the song. Remember that even if you use an instrumental version of the song, your guests may know the lyrics and hear them in their minds.
6
Notify your band leader or DJ of your choice in advance.
7
Ask the band leader whether you need to provide sheet music, and if so, where you should purchase it. Ask your DJ if you need to provide a recording of the song.
8
Buy a recording of the song you choose and practice dancing to it together. A simple box-step or two-step is easy to teach yourself. If you select a waltz, practice this, too.
9
Consider taking dance lessons together.
