12. Despite any initial reservations, Williams-Paisley acknowledges that the movie significantly altered her life, even leading her to her husband, Brad Paisley. Back in 1991, the budding country musician was still chasing his dreams, and the film held a special place for him and his then-girlfriend. However, he found it difficult to concentrate on anything besides the captivating actress on the screen, as Williams-Paisley recounted to E! News.

Fast forward four years to when a newly single and somewhat melancholic Paisley went to watch Father of the Bride Part II. Once again, he was mesmerized by the leading lady. “She seemed like a wonderful person—intelligent, humorous, and possessing those elusive qualities,” he shared with Good Housekeeping.

Inspired by this experience, Paisley penned a song for his 2001 album Part II. Recalling the moment, he told the magazine, “It felt natural to ask her to be in it, even though I had no idea about her personal life—whether she was married, divorced, or recently out of rehab.”

As it turned out, the actress was none of those, but she was indeed intrigued. “One morning, he just decided to call me, and I agreed because I’m a sucker for someone who’s interested,” she shared with Meredith Vieira. “We began dating, and not long after, we were engaged.”

The couple’s charming story is one they enjoy recounting. Williams-Paisley explained to E! News, “When we tell how we met, he says, ‘Oh yeah, this happened: I was with this girl, and so on,’ while my version is, ‘He pursued me relentlessly, so marrying him seemed like the easiest option.’
