A son's wedding day is overwhelming even for the best of moms. No matter how much you love your child's new spouse, there's nothing to help that little twinge of sadness at the sight of your little boy flying the coop for good.
It's just a lot to handle. And then, things get even more emotional when it's time for the traditional mother and son dance at the reception. This is the tipping point for most moms.
They hold it together during the ceremony and the cocktail hour, but as soon as a mom's son leads her across the dance floor, all bets are off. Even the guests struggle for these few minutes!
Some mothers and sons lighten the mood with a comedic dance, and some mix it up with familiar choreography to get the crowd going.
But either way, this is an epic moment between a mother and her son, and it always feels personal no matter how they go about it.
For this mom on her son's big day, she made sure to have a little something special up her sleeve.
As she explains, their song has always been Rod Stewart's "Forever Young." I never really thought of this song in this way, but it really does make sense in this setting.
And the best part? When the family opens their arms to the new bride at the end of the song. It's such an amazing moment!
Please SHARE this incredible song with everyone you know!
