My husband purchased this song for me. We learned that it’s very hard to drive on a major highway when your eyes are raining and you’re fighting back sobs. What a tender, romantic song!
This guy is wonderful! "They lit a flame with the match God had made when she said yes." What a brilliant line! Love it! I'm gonna put that quote in the frame with my wedding picture when I get married....
as someone who wore those exact leg braces all my life, this video is beautiful! wish I'd been asked to dance once. why aren't these kind of story videos in existance today?
starrydteamer i lived that without knowing it . i met my life partner miss jane frances beebe in a food and ice cream establishment called mortenson's a friendly family restaurant with a dairy bar. i know we were match mated by a chinese brother and sister. jane worked with the sister at a library. and i was a friend and once a coworker of the brother. jane and i emailed each other. around janes birthday april 1997 we had our first face to face. i think i was early because that was the way i was. i like early or on time. jane not so much. it took a while to figure it out and i have slow learning disability. and she had a perpetually late gene. and that manifests in being exactly a half hour late or the last person for a 10:00 am church service and that was true on our wedding day june 26, 1999. i made it to church on time to unlock her life long church. i took on the job to let the caterers into the church kitchen to prepare for the wedding reception in the church dining room. i must have been dressed in my monkee suit since breakfast. heck that is the groom's job. dam i was on time. i pretended to be taller tom cruise in top gun and my best man was a rio called goose and that was my best man my younger and smarter brother edwin. he was a talking mister ed and like the horse he would have never talked unless he had something to say. he was so smart they called him hooter like a wise owl who who mister ed or eddie to his wife susan. hey goose in top gun was the actor anthony edwards. bingo another ed reference. eddie was not heavy he is my brother forever. he was separated from his life on earth to join my life partner in heaven they earned their angel wings while still on earth. they earned their angel wings for doing as much good as they did. jane had scoliosis as a child and her sixth grade picture has her in a cast with her arms outstretched arms like the Frankenstein movie. i guess that is the way they treated that condition in the late 1960s. i met jane after her WWII veteran of the pacific theater as us army air force private first class lloyd walter beebe transitioned from air force wings to angel wings for all the good he did on earth. he was on top secret missions on the us territory of the country island of guam. during the war he manned electric winches on navy vessels to retrieve propeller powered allied air craft and crews that were downed in the waters around guam and towards the end of the Japanese he assisted in dismantling radars and other top secret technologies that needed to shipped back stateside. he also was a trail master in the franklin delano roosevelt's new deal civilian conservation corps (CCC). god speed to all those from the beebe-waterschoot names.
i watched the video again it finally dawned on me the foot braces were those of people both male and female humans who were struck down with polio. president franklin delano. and a coworker Joseph Ploszey ( sp?) who was sticken with polio. and he found a lady who said yes and married him and they were blessed with two children. trust in your self and in what you can do and trust in your god and your creator and your dreams may come true.
I love and always love the old country songs I grew up with. Even though they make me sad because I think of who I listened to the songs with love you all even though you are gone.
sassbrat i attempted to see past a disability a girl i knew back in the 90's, but i still was not good enough. she had muscular distrophy and was 300 pounds. I wonder what she is doing now.
Haven't seen this video in years! Still gets to me! I cried throughout the entire video. It is so touching and emotional. Shows what true love is all about!
xavier almanza Everything is auto-tuned these days. Some DJs/Musicians don't even like some of the music they play (or how to play at all since technology even sets up your beat match) but if they want the gig, they have to play puppet. I set a 60/70s playlist. Love to hear the actual instruments. It is pretty amazing that even the youngest of my car rider's love to play the air drum and pick out the sounds they hear and when artists had real talent to sing. Music is awful these days. Happy some of the Classics attempt a come back tour.
So I have always loved this song but when.insaw the music video I just started crying. I am a disabled person who wears braces on my legs and the beginning where it says she'd gave alot og thought to being aak just broke my heart. I didn't even go to my senior prom because I knew no one wanted to.try and dance with me. This song will be played at my wedding whenever that happens. This music video touches me in a way nothing else has. Thanks for this Rhett Akins
this song is about true love and standing by the other even though one of of them is disabled my boyfriend and i r both disabled:) my boyfriend and i r soulmates hes the loml!!!!
I'm still listening in 2021. I miss CMT which is where I first heard this and so many beautiful songs. This is one of the most beautiful love stories made into a song ever written.
I just wanna say Thanks for this song... We saw Rhett in concert March 31, 2001 in Oroville, CA and my late husband Dedicated this song to me that night as we had just become engaged that night. Although my husband is now an Angel watching over the kids an I (2014), this song means the world to me and the note that my husband had written to Rhett for the dedication which i still have.
I sure do miss the 70s, 80s and 90s. Sometimes I wish I could find a time machine and go back in time. Life was much easier and everyone enjoyed life! Is this your favorite song?
+XxDragonsPrayerxX Ummm HELLO.... He was TELLING you that RHETT AKINS is the father of THOMAS RHETT. Not himself. You got a lot of growing up to do child.
One of the most beautiful and inspirational songs of all time, and performed by a wonderful voice of country music, Rhett Akins. Loved him then and love him now.
Jessica Ann Stewart good thing we have his equally talented and equally country son Thomas rhett (something to do with my hands it goes like this get me some of that beer with Jesus tshirt die a happy man crash and burn star of the show and too many others to list)
Quite a few years ago, I stumbled on this song. It was the "b" side of a record & I only heard it because the jukebox it was in would occasionally play a random song. It might have been chance that introduced me to it, but I fell in love with it immediately! "She Said Yes" has to be one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. And I remember dancing to it on my wedding day. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the gateway to some of the best memories of my life!
love love this song ever since i was a child.... i based my prince charming on this song!!! & she said yes to his whole hearted request & they hold on for dear life until the last song played they wont let go its beyond their control they lit a flame with the match that god have made when she said yes!!!! makes my heart smile!
Aww I love this this was my grandparents but in 54 she was post polio and had leg braces and not many guys took a chance on her and all the girls slapped my grandpa he was a clown but it worked out 55 beautiful years together 😊madly in love with one another till the good Lord took her home but grandma always said she did the town a favor taking the village idiot and bad boy she said marrying him was a public service he said he didn't want any other woman but her..😅
Justin Clark Thomas Rhett's name is Thomas rhett Akins jr. Rhett's name is Thomas rhett Akins sr. not being rude just trying to let you know. If you don't believe me look up Thomas Rhett's parents and Rhett Akins will say father and Paige braswell will say mother
This comment didn't age well :) he needs to go back to songs like "beer with Jesus" hasn't done much good stuff since. Rhett will always be one of my top artists and still is!
I have been trying to find this song cause I forgot the songs title but I loved the song and I am so glad I found it again gosh this is a gift from God
I just had to listen to this again.. I'm disabled and can't really dance I can walk some but mostly need my motorized wheelchair and I'd like to experience what the young lady in the video is dang I'm missing when country was good and not crap
My husband purchased this song for me. We learned that it’s very hard to drive on a major highway when your eyes are raining and you’re fighting back sobs. What a tender, romantic song!
Was my wedding song. I Smile everytime I hear it, even some 25+ years later!!!
Kelsey are so right. I am 35 and in a wheelchair and single and still holding out for the kind of love portrayed in this video.
It's July 2024 and I'm wondering how things worked out for you. I hope life is great and you are happier than you ever imagined!
This guy is wonderful! "They lit a flame with the match God had made when she said yes." What a brilliant line! Love it! I'm gonna put that quote in the frame with my wedding picture when I get married....
Did u do it? 😊
That was my line! ✌️
Haven't heard this in prolly 20 yrs...my grandparents just hit 70 yrs of marriage this past Sunday Jan 25. It makes me think of them.
Let's not forget, even though he doesn't put out new music, he writes for a lot of new artist like Luke Bryan, Justin Moore, and even his own son.
Back when Love was love and country was country and then the two merged and a great song was created.
You are perching to the now choir
I love your quote....I gotta write that down...
That was the best quote I have ever heard describing the real country music.
I agree!!
@@pointingdog7235 LOL! *Every* generation thinks theirs is the "real" whatever. It's childish, really.
this older county music will always have more of a meaning to it than this new stuff
Bring this country music back
This song and video are perfect. This shows that love can happen if you give yourself and someone else a chance!❤😊
Who’s still listening to this in 2023
This was back when Country Music was Country and sounded good. :)
kalmanizer TODAY'S COUNTRY IS STILL JUST AS INCREDIBLE. ALSO WHEN THE HELL DID C AND M NEED CAPITALIZING IN COUNTRY MUSIC
I agree...country music ain't what it use to be!
This is real country this is my favorite country music
Beautiful. This song sounds like something John Michael Montgomery would sing. It's so beautiful. LOVE IT!!!!
It's hard to belive we're listening to his son on radio today. Dad and son ! Perfect talent
This song and video always make me bawl. I'm disabled and have the most wonderful man... He loves every part of me. Even the broken parts...
Hello, how are you doing today? Nice meeting you here.
as someone who wore those exact leg braces all my life, this video is beautiful! wish I'd been asked to dance once. why aren't these kind of story videos in existance today?
Bonfire songs are big right now

Der r dear..I have seen at different expects…its totally good ..coz only love which has no boundaries… nor obstacles..

his video is so powerful. a man saw passed a disabilty and saw a woman for who she was
sassbrat i attempted to see past a disability a girl i knew back in the 90's, but i still was not good enough. she had muscular distrophy and was 300 pounds. I wonder what she is doing now.
Haven't seen this video in years! Still gets to me! I cried throughout the entire video. It is so touching and emotional. Shows what true love is all about!
I've never had a bigger crush in my life than Rhett Akins. ♥
Real country music. A amazing song that should be #1 in the USA.
Country music of today and Joe Biden can relate they r both shitty
Rhett, I miss you bunches pal. But I love everything your son Thomas does.He's a talented artist . And so are you.
Hey there! How are you today? Nice to meet you here.
if only country singers today made songs like this. so simple, but yet so nice and amazing
he has a son thats in country music qnd hes amazing like his dad
+Jennifer Roll. i think it would be so awesome if Thomas Rhett recorded one of his dads songs and released it on the radio

music lovin girl They have actually written some songs together. Thomas's first #1 was a song he wrote with his dad.
xavier almanza Virtually every 90s hit country video on UA-cam has a comment like yours at the top.
As a disabled adult who can't get around too well. I just love this song. Speaks to my heart
Hey there! How are you today? It’s nice to meet you here.
Can. We say. Numbskull. Eh
Sure wish there was more official music videos from this very talented man on UA-cam!
So I have always loved this song but when.insaw the music video I just started crying. I am a disabled person who wears braces on my legs and the beginning where it says she'd gave alot og thought to being aak just broke my heart. I didn't even go to my senior prom because I knew no one wanted to.try and dance with me. This song will be played at my wedding whenever that happens. This music video touches me in a way nothing else has. Thanks for this Rhett Akins
Hold your head up and God bless you. This is a beautiful song.
God bless you. Prom isnt anything anyway 😘
@@rebeccay3489 God bless you to.
I'm 28 and I grew up listening to this kind of country and I absolutely love it and when I get married again this will be played at my wedding
I miss the 90!!s great decade being a kid...😁😁😁😁😁
He has some of the best songs! Old Dirt Road is my second favorite besides this one. In the 90’s I listened to his albums back to back.
Rhett Akins was ALWAYS playing in my pick-up truck back in the day.
Yes i wish we still had country music like this today on the radio this is the kind of county music that grew up with and i love it
this song is about true love and standing by the other even though one of of them is disabled my boyfriend and i r both disabled:) my boyfriend and i r soulmates hes the loml!!!!
I'm still listening in 2021. I miss CMT which is where I first heard this and so many beautiful songs. This is one of the most beautiful love stories made into a song ever written.
2019 and will always listen to this song. One of his best. I liked this song when it first came out .

I sure do miss the 70s, 80s and 90s. Sometimes I wish I could find a time machine and go back in time. Life was much easier and everyone enjoyed life! Is this your favorite song?
One of my favorites all these years later and now I am a huge fan of his son!
Rhett Akins, Where have you been young man? Your son Thomas is doing great with his music. I love it. I miss hearing from you.
Hello, how are you doing today? It’s nice to meet you here.
One of the sweetest songs in country music.
Born Thomas Rhett Akins. He hit #17 in Billboard, 3-16-96. Kids, this is the father of Thomas Rhett.
Dave Wollenberg its amazeing how many people dont know this! im a fan of both!
XxDragonsPrayerxX SOME people don't know that Rhett is Thomas Rhett's father!
+XxDragonsPrayerxX Ummm HELLO.... He was TELLING you that RHETT AKINS is the father of THOMAS RHETT. Not himself. You got a lot of growing up to do child.
He has his daddy's features of you look at his face. I never knew this, thanks for sharing
its also amazing how much people dont realize that rhett has had a part in writing about 50% of the big country hits in the last 10 or so years
One of the most beautiful and inspirational songs of all time, and performed by a wonderful voice of country music, Rhett Akins. Loved him then and love him now.
I miss Rhett's music! Good song! :)
Jessica Ann Stewart good thing we have his equally talented and equally country son Thomas rhett (something to do with my hands it goes like this get me some of that beer with Jesus tshirt die a happy man crash and burn star of the show and too many others to list)

Dang it, this song makes me tear up every time I hear it...
one of the most inspiring country singers i've ever heard. I love his music.
This song kills my heart, tears start falling. Due to allergies
Love my 90s country; bring back so many good memories. Love Rhett Akins & love his son Thomas’s music too; good down to earth men.
Sure glad I came across this gem just now! And man does this bring me back to old days!
Absolutely beautiful song!
Quite a few years ago, I stumbled on this song. It was the "b" side of a record & I only heard it because the jukebox it was in would occasionally play a random song.
It might have been chance that introduced me to it, but I fell in love with it immediately!
"She Said Yes" has to be one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. And I remember dancing to it on my wedding day.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the gateway to some of the best memories of my life!
My Wife and I got married to this song in 1996
Probably the best country love song of its time.
I remember this song being on the radio everyday in the '90s
Angel Phillips weird. I was born in 1993. Only rhett akins songs I remember are don't get me started and that ain't my truck
Michael Hammond even sadder??? The fact you think you spelled HEAR right in this case. HERE is a place. HEAR is like to listen to something like
Miss 90s country
love love this song ever since i was a child.... i based my prince charming on this song!!! & she said yes to his whole hearted request & they hold on for dear life until the last song played they wont let go its beyond their control they lit a flame with the match that god have made when she said yes!!!! makes my heart smile!
This song still has my whole heart!!
I cannot believe this video was on CMT"s Throwback Thursday today. I thought for sure "That Ain't My Truck" was going to be on there.
This song just goes to show us that taking a chance isnt a bad thing to do. Go on and ask her!
Dan Avery some of us have a fear of rejection...lol
this man can sure write a song!
Yea buddy
Co-written Rhett Akins and Joe Doyle
THEY DON'T WRITE SONGS LIKE THIS ANYMORE!!!!🥰

His son Thomas Rhett is carrying on his legacy
ColtonT13 Thomas is his brother not son! Omg! lol
Justin Clark no Thomas is his son
Alexis doran Thomas did an Interview and said Rhett is his older Brother!
Justin Clark Thomas Rhett's name is Thomas rhett Akins jr. Rhett's name is Thomas rhett Akins sr. not being rude just trying to let you know. If you don't believe me look up Thomas Rhett's parents and Rhett Akins will say father and Paige braswell will say mother
This comment didn't age well :) he needs to go back to songs like "beer with Jesus" hasn't done much good stuff since.
Rhett will always be one of my top artists and still is!
Rhett is the man
