The author also doesn’t want to compromise—so the situation has reached an impasse

The groom-to-be went online for support and advice as he doesn’t want to look like a weirdo at his own wedding

Well, the hero of our story today is going to get married next year, in June, but preparations for the wedding have already begun. And this is quite reasonable—after all, you need to think through and provide for everything, down to the smallest nuances. Otherwise, as we know, he’ll be fraught with completelyunforeseen consequencesnear the altar or at the reception.

The Original poster (OP) is on good terms with his mom, and one of the elements of the upcoming ceremony will be a dance with the groom and his mother. However, when the groom-to-be asked Mom which song she would choose for the dance, he immediately regretted asking. And now, you will understand what caused this reaction.

In addition, the author himself doesn’t remember this song—he was simply too young then to remember anything at all. However, no matter how much he asked his mother to change her mind, she was stubborn and didn’t want to give up. So, our hero turned to netizens with a request for some advice. Or, to figure out how not to look like a weirdo, dancing to a Christmas song in June…

Experts in organizing wedding ceremonies strongly recommend that the music played at the wedding have a special meaning for the newlyweds. For example, the song to which they kissed for the first time—why not? “No matter how long the two of you have been together, there’s bound to be a song, artist, orgenreof music that you both really connect to,” thisdedicated poston Brides.com claims, and it’s hard to disagree.

But what if the song is special to the groom’s mother? “I’ve actually heard a lot of songs at differentweddings, from rock ballads to one-day hits from TikTok, and the most important thing is for the bride and groom and/or their family to feel the appropriateness of the song,” says Denis Tsikanovsky, awedding hostfrom Tel-Aviv, Israel, whoBored Pandaasked for a comment here.

According to Denis, there are always the right words to explain to the audience why a particular song or music is about to be played. And if someone finds it funny—well, the bride and groom make their own rules at their wedding. “A good host can learn all the ins and outs of the family history and present the song in a way that’s very relevant,” he says.

Someone—and there were many such people—believed that it was worth giving in to her, just to show his appreciation. “It might be nice to let her have this win?” one of the commenters wrote. And which side of the opinion do you, our dear readers, lean more toward?
