Cole Swindell and Courtney Little were married in an intimate affair in California earlier this month, but that didn't keep them from also throwing a massive Nashville wedding. The couple did just that, throwing a huge party for friends and family on June 22 and they gave all of the details exclusively to our sister publication, BRIDES.

The newly-minted Swindells reportedly became friends years ago after meeting at a NASCAR race. However, in an interview with Cole on The Bobby Bones Show, after Courtney got a starring role in the music video for his song “Some Habits,” everything “kind of changed”.

Cole eventually asked her to marry him. “Still couldn’t tell ya everything I said down on one knee…All I know is she said “YES”!” Swindell shared on social media in May 2023, announcing the engagement.

After the family-only wedding in early June, the couple boot-scooted off for a honeymoon in Turks and Caicos. After they recovered from that excitement, they headed to a private estate in Nashville to throw a giant wedding party for all their friends and family there. We have some of the photos here thanks to BRIDES.

“We loved the intimacy of a private ceremony with only our close family, but also wanted to celebrate with our favorite people,” Courtney Little Swindell told Brides. “It was a dream to have a wedding, depart for our honeymoon, and then come back to Nashville to celebrate with everyone!”

The event was designed to feel like a European escape with plenty of Southern touches, including Georgia-born Cole's cowboy hat and boots. The couple also found a sweet way to pay homage to Cole’s late father. At their wedding in California, they reserved a seat for him.

At the Nashville event, attendees found their seat assignments on oversized guitar picks that were set up on a display that also showcased a memento from Cole’s dad. “In the middle of the wall was Cole’s late father’s guitar,” Courtney said,“Since his dad is no longer with us, it was a really special way to honor him and feel like he was there on our big day.”
