Love in Key West: Kassi Ashton and Travis Myatt's Romantic Wedding Celebration
Country music star Kassi Ashton recently tied the knot with her longtime partner Travis Myatt in a beautiful wedding ceremony held at The Ernest Hemingway Home in Key West, Florida. The intimate celebration featured an "old world" theme and a moody color palette that included antique silvers and organic textures like bone, shell, glass, and silk. The couple wanted a small, romantic wedding that reflected their love story and took place in their favorite location.
The wedding festivities kicked off with a welcome party on a catamaran the night before the ceremony, followed by the exchange of handwritten vows and custom-designed rings during the wedding. The rings were passed around the guests, who shared prayers, words of wisdom, and love into them. The ceremony was officiated by songwriter Barry Dean and featured a selection of meaningful music, including songs by Led Zeppelin and other artists.
Ashton and Myatt incorporated elements of their personal style into their wedding attire, with the bride designing her own gown inspired by antique ballet and theater costumes. The couple also wore jewelry from a Key West shipwreck and enjoyed a delicious meal with their guests, featuring dishes like Caribbean mahi mahi, chimichurri steak, and late-night Cuban buchi shots. The reception was filled with music and dancing, with the bride's sister-in-law serving as the DJ.
The wedding decorations included a 26-foot-wide medieval tent and 13 tasseled lanterns, creating a magical atmosphere for the celebration. A 17th-century alchemical symbol known as "The Wedding" was a prominent motif throughout the event and is now tattooed on the newlyweds. The festivities concluded with an after-party at a karaoke bar and a brunch the next morning, surrounded by their loved ones.
Kassi Ashton and Travis Myatt first met at the Key West Songwriting Festival in 2017 and got engaged in Key West in 2022. The couple looks forward to continuing their journey together, supporting each other as they pursue their dreams and grow as individuals. The wedding was a beautiful reflection of their love story and the beginning of a new chapter in their lives.
