Engagements
Everyone asks to see the ring. Nobody asks how you knew. The song can tell that part.
An engagement song about how they got to yes
An engagement is the first chapter of the wedding story, and it deserves its own song. Write it for your new fiance, or for a couple you love, and play it at the party once the toasts are done.

Hear the second a name lands
Maya and Sam, my heart is yours to hold
You wrote“We still split every dessert down the middle.”
The song singsWe split every single dessert down the middle
From a real song made here: “Down the Middle”, for Maya and Sam, from what the couple typed.
The moment you give it
Your best friend gives a toast, then hands the room over to a song. Both families learn how the two of you met in the first verse, and the parents who just met are suddenly laughing at the same line.

A love song with an engagement story
"Down the Middle" is a wedding song, but it tells the engagement: a ferry, a nervous proposal and a ring that almost went overboard.

Engagement song or proposal song?
A proposal song plays before the question. An engagement song comes after the yes: it tells the story of the proposal, the ring and the families finding out. If you are still planning to ask, start with a proposal song instead.
What to write about
- What the couple's friends have been predicting for years.
- How the proposal happened, and who cried first.
- The ring, if there is a story behind it.
- Who they called first, and what that person said.
- How the two of them met, in one sentence.
- One thing everyone who knows them says about them as a pair.
For example
A best friend writing for the engagement party might type:
- Dev proposed to Priya on the trail where they got lost on their second date.
- The ring was his grandmother's and he hid it in a hiking boot for a month.
- Their friends have been betting on this since college and Priya's sister won.
Playing it at the party
- Send the MP3 to the couple the next morning so they have it before the photos come in.
- Cue it right after the toasts, while everyone is still holding a glass.
- Upbeat pop suits a crowd; an acoustic song suits a dinner.
- Put the couple's names in your lines and the chorus can carry both.
Can it go with the engagement post on Instagram?
Yes. Once the song is unlocked, its page sets your photos of the couple to the song as a free vertical photo video, lyrics on screen. Use the 30-second cut for the announcement post or a Reel and the 15-second cut for a story; both start at the chorus, so their names land in the first seconds.
