Brad Paisley was inspired by wife Kimberly before he even met her – writing some of his album Part II after seeing her in Father of the Bride. And she's still his muse, appearing in his sweet ode "Little Moments." When Paisley sings, "And I can't even remember now/what she backed my truck into," Kimberly chimes in, saying, "I never crashed your truck, you know." His reply? "Give it time."
