Dani and Colton's love story didn't quite fit in with the love songs out there, so the musical couple decided to compose one for their wedding.
The first dance of the bride and groom is as important as the rest of the crucial moments in a wedding. But what happens when the couple fails to find the ideal song for their first dance that reflects their love story? Newlyweds Dani and Colton–who goes by @ni.co_official on Instagram–did not have to worry much about it because they are a musical duo called Ni/Co. Dani and Colton have been in a relationship for the past 10 years while creating music and covering songs of various artists together. So when it came to picking the song for their first dance after the wedding, the couple could not find anything suitable that had been composed by other musicians.
Then Dani and Colton decided to pick up the pen and paper to write their love song. Their entire team supported them and the song was ready to be played during their first dance. In a video they posted on Instagram, an announcer introduced the song before it started playing as the pair took center stage. The announcer mentioned that the musical pair did write the chorus of the song in the same room but went to separate rooms to write their separate verses. Then Dani's verse started playing over the speakers and the married couple enjoyed their first dance flanked by guests.
"Made it to the gas station. Pulled over just to catch my breath. First date, first dinner at your place. First time, I didn't second-guess. The odds were zero to nothing. I'd be enough, but you made me your whole life. Look what you did, what you did," Dani's verse started. "If gravity's pulling me, then I won't put up a fight. Clarity staring me down and it's got me like." Then, the chorus began with Dani and Colton's melodious voices intertwined.
"Sh*t, I was falling and reality hit. Your hands around my body just fit. Got a feeling that this feeling won't quit. Oh sh*t, I think you're it for me. It just hit. I think we're meant to be," the song continued as the duo danced with arms around each other. The viewers on their Instagram page were showering the couple with love for creating a beautiful song that summed up their journey with each other. Some even demanded Ni/Co to release the entire track and they did just that. Their complete song "It For Me" is available on Spotify for streaming.
