A lifelong risk-taker who never counted the cost finally meets the one gamble that matters. From reckless river jumps and quitting jobs on a whim to standing at the altar, every wild decision leads him to saying, “I do.”

“Somebody” Hold My Beer
Written By: Christopher Mason
Twenty-one and bulletproof
Tailgate down by the river shore
Buddy yellin', "Bet you won't"
That's all it took, and there I went
Back then every bad decision
Seemed like a pretty good time
Somebody hold my beer
I've never been much for countin' the cost
If I can see it from the edge
Odds are I've already jumped
Somebody hold my beer
Here goes nothin' once again
Twenty-seven with a beat-up truck
And a two-week notice I never gave
Told my boss he could find another fool
For that graveyard shift and minimum wage
Left in a cloud of dust in the rearview
Watchin' mile markers roll by fast
Somebody hold my beer
I've never been much for countin' the cost
If I can see it from the edge
Odds are I've already jumped
Somebody hold my beer
Here goes nothin' once again
Then one night in a little dance hall
You walked in and changed the game
For the first time in my life
I started thinkin' past today
Funny thing about forever
It scared me more than all the rest
But somehow your hand in mine
Made me wanna take that bet
Somebody hold my beer
Looks like I'm at it again
I've jumped fences, chased dreams
And done my share of wonderin'
But standin' here beside her
In this borrowed suit and tie
Somebody hold my beer
'Cause I'm about to change
The rest of my life
Yeah, every wild decision
Led me right here
Somebody hold my beer...
It’s time to say -
“I DO”
