Blake Shelton opens up about surprising Gwen Stefani with wedding song

Blake Shelton appeared in an interview with SiriusXM’s The Storme Warren morning show and revealed he surprised wife Gwen Stefani by writing a wedding song for her.

Shelton shared, “As soon as I knew that [we were writing our own vows], I started trying to write a song because that's the opposite of what she would have expected me to do.”

The 45-year-old went on to say, “I'm to the point where I just don't write that many songs anymore. It's just like pulling teeth for me and something she's always on my case about it.”

Shelton added, “And so I started writing this song and I can only get so far with it, 'cause I didn't want it to just be something for that moment. I wanted it to be something that was bigger and I saw I needed help. And so I called Craig Wiseman. I said, 'Craig, you got to help me with this thing. Like, I'm not joking around here.' You know?”

Shelton concluded “She didn't know I was going to do that. And so I surprised her with the song and we actually just recorded the song here in Nashville yesterday. I don't know what, or when we're going to do something with it, but it's something that I wanted to have a recording of.”
