A Song from the Heart
Jon, now 62, revealed that Kiss the Bride is part of the bandâs upcoming album, Forever, and serves as a musical tribute to his daughter Stephanieâs impending wedding. In a âbehind the songâ video shared on social media, he explained:
ââKiss the Brideâ was written for my daughter, Stephanie, who is engaged to be married. And I hope that you like it as much as I do. Maybe even consider it a wedding song for someone you know. My little baby, who I wrote âI Got the Girlâ for when she was 5 years old, is now 30 years old. Different place in my life, different place in hers, but sheâll always be my 5-year-old princess.â
The song snippet shared features the balladâs touching lyrics:
ââJust Marriedâ sign, then you drive away / First dance, then you cut the cake / Weâll say each word and hold a glass up high / You may kiss the bride.â
