Wedding song idea

September 20, 2011 2:49 AM

I would like a nice transition in our Bride/Groom dance to having a dance with my mother. Just the tone obviously, I am looking for a piece of music that fits well. It doesn't have to be in the same era. Thank you.

I love the Beatles suggestion! Natalie Merchant's "Kind and Generous" might also work.

Ah, Summertime by Gershwin. Many variations have been done that will fit the tone. One of the more poignant ones was done by Peter Gabriel.
