Many people know the name Brad Paisley and many people know his wife Kimberly Williams Paisley. But the story of how Brad Paisley met his wife is a sweet, almost unbelievable, straight-from-Hollywood story, literally.
At 19, most kids don't know what they want to do tomorrow, let alone what they want to be when they grow up. Well, in 1991, Brad was on a date to see "Father of the Bride." He remembers noticing Kimberly on the big screen. Soon after that, Brad's date broke up with him for his best friend. So, when the sequel came out four years later, he went to see it by himself.
