While appearing virtually onThe Tonight ShowWednesday, the 44-year-old coach ofThe Voicesaid he and his fiancée got nostalgic when it came to selecting a song for their first dance as man and wife.
“What’s your first song? Can you tell me?” hostJimmy Fallonasked the country star.

“Notthatsong!” Fallon said of the traditional tune for the bride’s entrance.
“At the reception, you come out of a fog machine,” the late-night host, 46, imagined, impersonating a zealous emcee. “‘Here is Mr. & Mrs.Blake Shelton!’ We hear you come out — ‘And now, it’s time for the couple’s first dance’ — then what do we hear?”

“It’s ‘If You Leave’ from thePretty In Pinksoundtrack,” Shelton revealed. “I swear I have it right here,” he added, pulling up the song on his phone.
“We’ve talked about this, we both love the song. We’re both fans of the ’80s, why not, why not?”

“I definitely would love to have Adam sing at our wedding,” the singer said onLate Night with Seth Meyersin April.
However, the artist clarified that she doesn’t envision her reception with a large band, alluding that she and Shelton may go in a different direction.
“I feel like we’re not gonna have a wedding band,” she said at the time. “I feel like we’re just gonna go with, like, a playlist. We’re keeping it very simple,” – and that goes for the guest list, too.
The singer continued: “It’s gonna be like, my mom and my dad and just literally gonna be just family. We are looking forward to that though. It’s gonna be fun. We’re gonna make it really fun.”
“But it’s not gonna be a big, like, you know, it’s not like the queen and king are getting married or something,” Stefani added.
Sheltonpopped the questionat his Tishomingo, Oklahoma ranch in October 2020. The musicians first fell in love while coachingThe Voicein 2015, bonding overtheir own recent heartbreakand respective divorces. They’ve been together ever since.
