“I sang ‘Butterfly Kisses’ at my kindergarten graduation so of course it had to be my father daughter dance at the wedding,” Wilson wrote. “Happy Fatherโ€™s Day, Deddy.”

The father-daughter dance wasn’t the only special music moment at Wilson’s wedding.

Wilson previously revealed that she and Hodges shared their first dance to Muscadine Bloodlineโ€™s โ€œ10-90 (The Sound of Roses).โ€ As for why they chose that track, Wilson simply shared a portion of the songโ€™s lyrics with Vogue.

โ€œYou walk in a room / And I lose my breath / Coming my way / Counting your steps / My heart starts to beat / Out of my chest / Harder and harder / The closer you get.โ€œ

What to Know About Lainey Wilson’s Wedding

Following the ceremony, which was held at Ruskin Cave in Dickson, Tennessee, Wilson and Hodges walked down the aisle to Rayeโ€™s โ€œWhere Is My Husband!โ€

Wilson decided to honor her Louisiana roots by enlisting The Rebirth Brass Band to perform. The 12-piece jazz band played the guests in a line march to cocktail hour.

โ€œIt was so lovely to have that touch of my home in Louisiana up here in Tennessee,โ€ the bride said.

After the cocktail hour, guests participated in a second line march. This time, the band played them to the cave where the reception was held.

What followed was a night of โ€œgood food, good company, and good music.โ€

Wilson said โ€œthe dance floor was packed all nightโ€ as the New Orleans-based band played. Later, when it came time for the newlyweds to depart, they did so in style.

โ€œDuck and I followed the band through a send-off line of sparklers and cheering loved ones, climbed into an old white Ford truck, and drove off!โ€ Wilson recalled.
