A country song about the two of you

Country music is all about telling stories, and a personalized country song can tell yours: your names, the dirt road where you met, the proposal and the life you are building. Play it for your first dance or as a surprise during the reception. Many couples also ask the band to learn one song from the bride's or groom's childhood, a small touch that families always notice.
