Demi Lovato’s wedding to Jordan "Jutes" Lutes was nothing short of a dream, intimate, stylish, and filled with deeply personal touches. Held at a stunning estate in Santa Barbara, the celebration reflected the couple’s unique love story. But beyond the fashion and star-studded guest list, one moment stood out above the rest: their unforgettable first dance.

That moment turned magical when John Rzeznik of the Goo Goo Dolls performed their iconic hit ‘Iris’ live. Appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Demi Lovato shared how special it felt to have the song’s original singer deliver it during such a personal moment. For the couple, it was not just a performance; it was the soundtrack to their love story brought to life.

"Yes, it was our first dance. It is a special song to us. We love it" she said.

The choice of ‘Iris’ was not random. Demi Lovato has long been vocal about her love for the song and had even performed it alongside John Rzeznik years earlier. That history added an extra emotional layer to the wedding, turning the first dance into a full-circle moment not just for Lovato but also Lutes.

"This is actually like a movie moment," Lutes said on the Zach Sang Show about the performance.

The night continued with equally memorable highlights, including Paris Hilton stepping in as DJ for the reception. But even among all the glamor, it was that live rendition of ‘Iris’ that defined the celebration, a rare, once-in-a-lifetime moment that made Demi Lovato’s wedding truly iconic.

Having graced award show stages and toured round the world, it seems that Demi Lovato is now turning the page. More specifically, she is asking fans to turn the pages of her cookbook.
