Usually known for his romantic, hypnotic honey baritone vocals, E. Walter Smith
cleverly portrays the raw emotions of every bride and groom as they complete the
final chapter of an old school courtship and celebrate the beginning of a life
filled with unbridled passion and the start of a new family.

Bringing a new groove to a bride’s “Must Play” list, We Married – The Bride Slide
opens with the heart thumping chant of:

Got a new ring on my finger
Sang “I DO” with the wedding singer
Nothing can stop us now
We’re livin’ our wedding vow

Atlanta Gospel Choice Awards Nominee for the \"Best New Female Artist,\" Lavoria Reese
brings a “realness” to the song to which women all around the world can relate.
Where Madison Avenue typically portrays a modern bride as a youthful size 4, Reese
“brags” We Married as a gorgeous, chocolate, full figured, faith filled and full
grown woman.

When asked how she feels about becoming the “poster girl” for brides around the
world, Reese says, “Wow! Is this me? LAVORIA? The church girl is now the wedding
funky party singer?! What diversity I have!”

This collaboration showcases the amazing talents of some of the industries most
seasoned producers, songwriters and musicians. Guy Mitchell, Jr. who co produced the
platinum hit My Baby’s Daddy provided the disco/club beats that grab you in the
center of your dance soul at the very beginning of We Married – The Bride Slide.
John Beal, III who co-wrote “I DO” with Smith, laced the track with the powerful
presence of orchestra blasts and contemporary arrangements that blend the essence of
a wedding’s romantic innocence with the honeymoon’s anticipated bliss.

After several spot dates with George Duke, world class drummer Sonny Emory, and Kool
and the Gang’s JT Taylor, Darian Emory blew up We Married – The Bride Slide with a
sax solo that yanks you right from the bridge of the song to the dance floor.
http://www.DarianEmory.com The funkiest guitar groove in music was stroked by
former Rick James guitar player, Maurice Richardson.

Since this song is having such an impact on how weddings across the world are being
celebrated it’s only fitting to announce the often unsung heroes of every song: The
sound engineers. Without them it’s like seeing the bridal party dressed in jeans and
t-shirts. The amazing production of We Married – The Bride Slide was recorded at
Orange Room Studios in East Point, Georgia. http://www.BealStreet.net, and
Reggie Moore’s Mosart Muzik Studios in Snellville, Georgia.

The final mixing and mastering, like the icing on a wedding cake, was engineered
and mastered by John Henry Johnson, Jr. CEO/President of Mad At It Records, LLC in
Los Angeles. (Darryl Swann (Macy Gray), Akon (Colby O’Donis) and YoYo)

Smith’s musical and marketing genius is again put on display by writing and
producing a song that features a new line dance specifically for a wedding… The
Bride Slide.

“I’d gone to my parent’s house for Christmas only to be awaked one morning by the
sound of classic line dance music. When I went down stairs they were in the middle
of the dining room practicing a new line dance for the annual Couples Club Holiday
party. In fact, they also mentioned that somebody was getting married. So, as a
special surprise I wrote We Married - The Bride Slide and released it on August 23,
2008 as a dedication to them as they celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary.

Over the years a lot of brides and DJs have asked me to write a hot dance song that
they can play to replace “dreaded four.” (The Electric Slide, Cha Cha Slide,
Macarena and Cupid Shuffle). Well, let’s just say I hope they make room for We
Married – The Bride Slide,” says Smith.
