Welcome back to the Wedding MusicLetter! This week I take a side step on music and talk about a highlight of the wedding reception - the parent dances.
When a mother dances with her son or a father dances with his daughter during the wedding reception, it is a highlight moment of their life. A culmination of their relationship.
The dance commonly takes place at the end of meal-time. Typically, the DJ or MC will announce on the microphone something along the lines of - the mother-son dance:
“Please join me in welcoming [mother's name] and [groom's name] to the dance floor for a very special moment: the mother-son dance.”
Yes, the announcement does its job. The groom’s mother and groom have a beautiful dance. Everyone is happy. When the song ends, everyone claps and the duo sits satisfied with the moment.
But that is how it has been taking place for years and years. It adds no personality, no surprises, no ORIGINALITY!
How can you add originality to the moment?
