Dan + Shay Surprise Fan's Wedding With Unreleased Song
Country duo Dan + Shay secretly crashed superfan Emily Hood Weiss' Tennessee wedding, performing their unreleased single "Marry You Again" and making her dream come true. The surprise was especially meaningful because Emily's mom, also a huge fan, couldn't attend while hospitalized in the ICU.
When Emily Hood Weiss saw Dan + Shay asking on Instagram if any couples were getting married in Nashville soon, she jumped at the chance to reply. But when the country stars ghosted her just days before her June 6 wedding in nearby Murfreesboro, Tennessee, she gave up hope.
What Emily didn't know was that her best friend and maid of honor, Anna Arney, had picked up where she left off. Arney secretly coordinated with the musicians to crash the wedding at Saddle Woods Farm, keeping the entire plan hidden from both Emily and groom Seth Weiss.
"I was shocked when Dan + Shay showed up at my wedding!" Emily told reporters. Seth had no idea the surprise was coming either.
Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney didn't just make a quick appearance. They performed several songs for the couple and their guests, including "Marry You Again," an unreleased track from their upcoming album that drops June 26.
The duo hit the dance floor, took photos with guests, and made everyone feel like family. "They were incredibly kind," Emily said.
Sunny's Take
The surprise carried extra weight for one heartbreaking reason. Emily's mom, a devoted Dan + Shay fan, was in the ICU at Vanderbilt Hospital and couldn't attend the wedding.
Emily had discovered a song list on her mom's phone of tracks she wanted played at the wedding. A Dan + Shay song topped the list.
"Since my mom couldn't be at my wedding, my best friend got me the next best thing," Emily shared. The musicians told her multiple times that they'd heard about her mom and offered their condolences.
For Smyers and Mooney, the experience was also a first. They'd never crashed a wedding before and called it "awesome" when they posted clips on Instagram over a week later.
"Emily and Seth, beautiful wedding. Beautiful people. It was so much fun," Smyers said in the video. Mooney added that the couple were "very sweet people. It felt like we were in the family tonight."
Guests are still talking about how fun the celebration was, and Emily knows exactly why.
