Country singer Kassi Ashton is officially married! The star tied the knot with longtime love Travis Myatt in an intimate “old world” themed wedding in Key West, the same city where their love story began. From her self-made, Alexander McQueen-inspired gown to their shared alchemical tattoo, we’re breaking down every meaningful detail of the stunning ceremony.
In a celebration that was as unique as her music, country singer-songwriter Kassi Ashton, 31, married Travis Myatt, 36, on April 19. The couple exchanged vows at The Ernest Hemingway Home in Key West, Florida, surrounded by 45 of their closest friends and family. The event was a masterclass in personal storytelling, transforming a wedding into a romantic escape that reflected every facet of their eight-year relationship.
Ashton described the goal for their special day: “We wanted a small, intimate wedding centered around us and where we met. We wanted to put our loved ones in our world, in our head, and in our love story.” The result was an “old world” theme with a moody color palette of antique silvers and organic textures like bone, shell, and silk, creating a deeply aesthetic and personal atmosphere.
A Full-Circle Florida Love Story
For Ashton and Myatt, Key West is more than just a beautiful backdrop; it’s the city that marks the beginning of their journey. The two first met at the Key West Songwriting Festival in 2017 when a mutual friend introduced them. A late-night walk to Ashton’s scooter evolved into a pivotal moment on the pier where Myatt would later propose.
That proposal came in March 2022, after five years of dating, solidifying their connection to the island. Their decision to marry there brings their story full circle, celebrating their past, present, and future in the place where it all began, a detail confirmed by a 2022 People report on their engagement.
The Ceremony: Meaningful, Esoteric, and Unforgettable
The ceremony itself was crafted to be “esoteric, meaningful, and official in a way that felt natural.” Officiated by songwriter Barry Dean, the couple read handwritten vows from antique books. The guests were seated in an arrangement inspired by the Fibonacci sequence, a pattern of growth found in nature, symbolizing the couple’s own journey.
In a profoundly personal touch, their custom-designed rings from Giador Fine Jewelry were passed among the guests, who spoke “prayers, words of wisdom, love, and wishes into the rings.” This allowed the couple a private moment to connect during the ceremony while a harpist and cellist performed Led Zeppelin’s “The Rain Song.” Other musical selections included “Stairway to Heaven” and Soundgarden’s “Black Hole Sun,” reflecting the couple’s eclectic tastes.
A Bride’s Vision: The Self-Designed Gown
Proving her artistry extends far beyond music, Ashton designed and created her own wedding gown. The stunning two-part corseted dress was a labor of love, drawing inspiration from a range of influences. “I was inspired by antique ballet and theater costumes, oceanic fantasy editorials, and deconstructed runway looks from one of my favorite designers, Alexander McQueen,” Ashton revealed. The result was a gown that was uniquely her, complemented by jewelry from a Key West shipwreck. Myatt wore a custom ivory suit from Eric Adler Clothing designed to be “loose, cool, and authentically” him.
An ‘Old World’ Reception with a Modern Beat
The reception continued the intimate, family-focused theme. Guests enjoyed a family-style dinner of Caribbean mahi-mahi and chimichurri steak, designed to encourage conversation and warmth as dishes were passed around the tables. For dessert, there wasn’t just one cake, but five different options from their favorite local spot, Moondog Cafe & Bakery, including key lime pie, basque cheesecake, and mango cake.
The music shifted from classical rock arrangements to a lively DJ set of “house remixes of classic rock songs,” spun by Ashton’s own sister-in-law, Spinn Robertson. The celebration continued with an after-party at the couple’s favorite local karaoke bar, Bobby’s Monkey Bar, capping off a weekend of festivities.
The Symbolism That Binds
A 17th-century alchemical symbol known as “The Wedding” was a recurring motif throughout the event’s design. This powerful emblem, representing union and transformation, has now been permanently inked on both Ashton and Myatt as a tattoo, a lasting tribute to their commitment and the magical day they created.
As they embark on their new life as a married couple, Ashton says they plan to continue “moving and growing in parallel lines, chasing our dreams and who we are as people.” Their wedding, a perfect blend of personal history, artistic expression, and shared love, was the ultimate first step in that journey, a story exclusively shared with People.
