"I Do (Cherish You)" is a song written by Keith Stegall and Dan Hill.[2] It was first released in February 1998 by American country music artist Mark Wills. The first single from his second album, Wish You Were Here, it became his third top-10 hit on the US Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart that year.
Mark Wills' music video, directed by Peter Zavadil and shown in black-and-white, features Wills inside a train station. The video ends with his love coming in the doors, and he gives her an engagement ring. The music video for the 98 Degrees version, directed by Wayne Isham, features the members of the band separately dating a lady played by Ali Landry. At the end of the video, she marries a gentleman played by Dustin Diamond, much to the chagrin of the four band members.
