Nineteen-year-old Brad Paisley was on a date watching Father of the Bride when he realized he was more intrigued by the girl onscreen than the one sitting next to him. It didn't work out with his date (she dumped him, according to Taste of Country) but he did eventually end up marrying the actress in the movie, Kimberly Williams.



That was 1991. In 1995, Brad went to see the sequel,

"I thought, She seems like a great girl—smart and funny and all those things that are so hard to find," Brad told Good Housekeeping.

In 1999, the musician released his first country single, " ." A few years later, still smitten with the face of Annie Banks, Brad cast Kimberly in the video for his song, "I'm Gonna Miss Her" from the album .



"He stalked me. That's the long and the short of it," Kimberly joked on CBS' Sunday Morning in 2011. "He says it was love at first sight for him, and for me it was more like love at first month or two."

The pair married in 2003 on the campus of Pepperdine University in Malibu, California. And while Annie Banks balked at her father's suggestion of a casual wedding reception at home, Kimberly and Brad's real-life wedding reception was a laid-back affair, according to IMDB.

The couple has been married for 15 years now and shares two children, sons William "Huck" Huckleberry, 11, and Jasper Warren, 9, together. In 2015, they renewed their vows in what Kimberly called a "really campy" ceremony at a friend's house.

"We both have very healthy senses of humor. Anything I take myself too seriously on, she will gladly cut me down to size on and destroy all pre-conceived notions that I'm cool in any way," Brad told The Boot.

Brad has put that same sense of humor to good use hosting the Country Music Association Awards for the past 11 years, and his wife usually accompanies him on the red carpet. The support is mutual: At the premiere of Kimberly's new Netflix Christmas movie, The Christmas Chronicles, her country star husband was there snapping selfies and posting how proud he was on Instagram. He does the same for her many Hallmark movie projects.

Brad and Kimberly are known for their philanthropic efforts as well. Last month, they announced plans to open a grocery store for people in need where everything is free.

In addition to humor, the couple has credited counseling for their long-lasting union. Meanwhile, Brad has their marriage to thank for music material.

"I have more to write about now," Brad said in the Good Housekeeping interview. "Before, I had nothing to write about but failed relationships and life on the road. Now, I feel emotions more deeply in every sense. When you feel that kind of love ... it even makes for better songs."
