Inspired First-Dance Song

Ellen and James's first dance as a married couple was to "Late in the Evening" by Paul Simon, chosen because of the lyrics and because their favorite band, Umphrey's McGee, performed it during their first weekend away to see them in concert. "The song has been sentimental to us since the beginning of our relationship, so it was a no-brainer," Ellen says.
