In November 2018, an up-and-coming country singer and a country legend came together for one unforgettable duet. While attending singer James Dupré’s fall wedding, Randy Travis shared a special moment with the groom during the reception. The guests honored Travis on two different occasions singing two of his famous tunes “I Told You So” and “Forever And Ever, Amen.”

The video shows Travis in his wheelchair sporting a black sports jacket and button down. With the groom’s brother, Ashton by his side, and a giant smile on Travis’ face, the pair sings his famous tune “I Told You So.” Throughout the song, you can hear the entire room singing alongside Travis. A truly special moment occurred when the country legend began to use his left arm, showing how far he’s come since his 2013 stroke.
Another beautiful moment happened when the bride and the groom came together with Travis to sing another of his classic’s “Forever And Ever, Amen” during the celebration as well. A smile didn’t leave Travis’ face once. You even get a glimpse of his wife joining in on the serenade.
