Brad Paisley and Kimberly Williams' Real-Life Love Story Will Make You Swoon
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. Brad released his first country single, "Who Needs Pictures," in 1999. 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."
"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 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 12 years now and have two young sons, Huck, 9, and Jasper, 6, together. They renewed their vows last year 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.
