Songs from a mom to a daughter

She has been there through a number of life’s milestones. She was the first face you saw when you opened your tiny eyes, encouraged you to take the training wheels off your bike, made you soup when you were sick and then taught how to make it yourself. Through the whole wedding planning process, she has been been there for venting, asked for guidance and beamed when you found the dress. But, she doesn’t have the honor of walking you down the aisle, or a special moment on the dance floor with you. She’s why not make her feel special on your big day? One way is finding special mothert-daughter dance songs to let both of you take the spotlight on your wedding day.
