Fantastic song!

I think it's about a guy at a wedding, perhaps one of the groomsmen (though its confusing because he's talking about who he hired to sing, which may be one of the parents jobs?). If he's a groomsmen, he may be talking to a bridesmaid (because of the rented dress and tux).

Maybe they were a couple at one point, and since broken up. Now they're in this awkward place, being in the wedding party at a friend's wedding. They finally see each other in a light they never did.
