Meghan Trainor wrote her wedding song within a month of meeting Daryl Sabara

Meghan Trainor and husband Daryl Sabara fell in love quickly and deeply.

Appears on July 8th in the episode of Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert In a podcast, the 30-year-old singer of “All About That Bass” revealed that she and 32-year-old Sabara knew they were “in love” after just six days together.

“We were like Velcro. The first day I thought, ‘You’ll never leave me.’ By the sixth day we were in love,” she recalls.

Within weeks, Trainor was already thinking about marriage. “In the first month, I wrote our wedding song that we walked down the aisle to,” she continued, adding jokingly, “Yeah, we’re gross.”

After Shepard, 49, said he was “proud” of Trainor for dating her now-husband for “a couple of years” despite developing “very different” feelings for Sabara in just six days, the Grammy winner responded, “We stretched it out as long as we could, up to a year and a half (before we got married).”

“Just to make everyone else happy,” she explained. “I literally called my mom. I asked her, ‘When can he propose to me without people judging us?'”
