Walker Montgomery’s latest track, “I Don’t Think I Will,” holds special significance for him as it is a fresh take on a song from 1996 originally by James Bonamy. The couple connected deeply with the song, deciding it would be their first dance at their forthcoming wedding.
Montgomery expressed that he and his fiancée, Krista Slaubaugh, instantly resonated with the song. “We just listened to it and thought, ‘This is it!’” he shared with Country Now. Krista was unfamiliar with the original, but Montgomery, a fan of 90s music, introduced her to it, leading them to choose it for their special moment.
Giving the song his own artistic touch, Montgomery recreated it with a nostalgic melody that tells the story of a man who feels a profound connection to his soulmate. He highlights a deep emotional narrative in his rendition, singing about finding someone he cannot imagine life without.
As they prepare for their October wedding, Montgomery shared that his fiancée has taken the lead on most of the planning. They have selected their wedding colors and finalized their attire, while Montgomery humorously noted his surprise at the costs involved.
Montgomery has taken charge of planning their honeymoon to Hawaii, a first for both of them. He revealed exciting plans, including attending a luau and visiting Pearl Harbor. “She wants to live out her Lilo and Stitch dreams!” he said, emphasizing their enthusiasm for the trip.
Adding a unique touch to their ceremony, the couple plans to bury a bottle of bourbon, a tradition in Kentucky. Montgomery joked about the timing of unearthing it, suggesting it might be done after they say their vows.
Their romantic journey began in the fall of 2023, when Montgomery openly admitted his attraction to Krista while chatting with fans. Their first date followed shortly after, and by Valentine’s Day, Krista was certain that Montgomery was her soulmate.
During a surprise trip to North Carolina in May, Montgomery proposed to Krista. She described feeling overwhelming excitement and joy, stating they had long known they were meant to be together. Montgomery reminisced about the moment, noting how the sun shone beautifully just after he popped the question.
Alongside personal milestones, Montgomery is also advancing his music career. He has recently signed with Red Street Records to elevate his artistry. He feels that this collaboration will enhance his traditional country music style without forcing any changes.
Fans can expect new music soon, particularly love-themed songs, as Montgomery embraces this joyful phase of his life. He also completed his first headlining tour, the “Saving The Honky Tonks Tour,” which he described as an exhilarating experience, highlighting the support from his fans.
With more opportunities to perform this summer at various fairs and festivals, Walker Montgomery is excited to continue sharing his music. He will be featured at the 27LIVE Powered by Country Now event on June 23.
