Blake Shelton includes ‘leaked’ wedding clip in ‘God Gave Me You’ video

Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert were married in May, in what could be described as country music's own royal wedding. We've all seen the gorgeous pictures from the ceremony in magazines and online, but now Mr. and Mrs. Shelton are sharing one of the more intimate moments from the festivities. It's a video the bride made for her groom, which is now a part of the video for a song Blake cut in tribute to Miranda, 'God Gave Me You.'

"There was this wedding video that leaked out on the internet," he explains. "One of us did it, I'm sure, by just not knowing how to use a computer! [laughs] So I was watching the wedding video one day and it opened with Miranda talking to me. That was the first time I saw it. I just thought what she's saying to me is so cool. And the reason I cut that song was because of her and the ups and downs of our relationships that we always had, but always end up back together. [She] said everything that was the reason I recorded that song.

"Trey Fanjoy, the director, thought it would be a great idea to take that and let it be my chapter in the video," Blake continues, "and then show all these other things, like the guy in the car wreck and the nurse who comes to save him, and the kid in school who didn't fit in and had the girl who wanted to be his friend. There are all different scenarios for 'God Gave Me You.' So that is, hands down, the most personal video."
