For the wedding
Every groom gets cufflinks. Yours gets his name sung in front of everyone who ever doubted he would settle down.
A wedding song for your groom, in his name and your words
Most wedding gifts for grooms are a watch or cufflinks. A song that names him and tells your story is the one he will play on every anniversary that follows.
Hear the second a name lands
Maya and Sam, my heart is yours to hold
You wrote“We met queuing for the same sold-out concert in Austin and neither of us got in.”
The song singsBut standing in that queue was not in vain
From a real song made here: “Down the Middle”, for Maya and Sam, from what the couple typed.
The moment you give it
His best man hands him your phone while he's fighting his tie. He listens alone by the window, and walks out to the ceremony looking like he's already heard his vows.
Wedding morning · groom's room
For the groom, before the ceremony
Groom's suite, tie half done, best man standing guard
Listen alone. See you at the end of the aisle.

A real wedding song made here
"Down the Middle" was written by a couple about how they met and the ferry proposal. A bride's song for her groom starts from her own lines.

- What your friends said about him the first time they met him.
- The thing he did that made you sure.
- A small daily habit you plan to keep teasing him about for fifty years.
- What your family loves about him.
- The life you are planning: the city, the dog, the kids, the trips.
Surprise him well
The best moment is often the hour before the ceremony, sent to his phone with a short note so he hears it with his groomsmen or alone. If you would rather see his face, ask the DJ to play it after dinner and tell him to listen to the words.
Style for a groom
A female voice keeps it sounding like it comes from you.
| If he is | Try |
|---|---|
| a romantic who will cry | Piano ballad |
| the life of the party | Upbeat pop |
| a country boy at heart | Country |
| quiet and thoughtful | Indie folk |
For example, from a bride
A bride might send: he asked me on the trail where we had our first hike, and he was shaking so hard he dropped the ring; he names every houseplant and talks to them; I want to grow old arguing with him about the thermostat. The ring scene gives the song its story, the plants its smile, and the thermostat its promise.
