For your fiancé
Right now it is seating charts and deposits. You want one thing in the middle of it that is just about why.
A song for your fiancé, between the yes and the wedding
Engagement is a strange in-between time, full of planning and nerves. A song about the two of you is a reminder of why you are doing all of it, with their name in every chorus.
Hear the second a name lands
Maya and Sam, my heart is yours to hold
You wrote“Sam proposed on the ferry and nearly dropped the ring.”
The song singsThe ring almost slipped right out of Sam's hand
From a real song made here: “Down the Middle”, for Maya and Sam, from what the couple typed.
The moment you give it
They're on the couch with a laptop full of quotes. The song tells the proposal back to them, nerves and all, and the laptop gets closed without saving.
After the third venue call of the day

- A promise you have not said out loud yet.
Gift timing
- On the morning of the wedding, while you get ready apart.
- At the rehearsal dinner, after the toasts.
- The night you book the venue or send the invitations.
- On your first trip as an engaged couple.
For example
Past, present and the countdown, in three lines.
- I proposed on the hiking trail where we got lost on our second date.
- She cried at the cake tasting because the lemon one tasted like her grandmother's.
- In six weeks I get to call her my wife.
A gift, not a first dance
A two-minute personal song is a present for your partner, not a replacement for your first dance. Many couples listen to it privately first, then decide together whether to play it for the guests.
Nerves are allowed in the song
Wedding planning brings stress, family opinions and budgets. A line about surviving the seating chart together can be funnier and truer than another line about forever. One honest joke usually makes the sincere chorus land harder.
If your engagement is long, the song can also mark a halfway point, a reminder in the middle of the planning of why you said yes.
For a same-sex couple or a nonbinary partner, write your lines the way you talk about them; the lyrics follow your words and your pronouns.
