SOPHISTICATED WEDDINGS
KYNLIE FREEMAN & WILLIAM REAMES/October 31, 2020 Nashville songwriters strike the perfect chord at their intimate fall wedding Nashville songwriters William and Kynlie tied the knot on October 31st in the chapel at First Presbyterian Church in front of their wedding party and immediate families. The reception followed at Woodland Hollow at Annie Acres Farm—a familyowned event space off Briley Parkway. Their venue was open-air with the help of sliding barn doors, so they were technically outdoors and used heaters to warm the area and be comfortable on the chilly fall evening. They had planned on having 200 guests at the reception but ended up scaling that number to around 75-making the difficult but essential decision to keep the guest list small, knowing this was the safest choice for their older, more at-risk family members. Everything turned out perfectly, and they 78 slmag.net
were so glad to be able to still celebrate with their closest friends and family. The newlyweds traveled to California the next day for their honeymoon and spent a week in Napa and a few days in San Francisco. Kynlie and William have known each other for a while, both having attended Harding Academy. They became friends years later because of their shared passion for songwriting. William reached out to Kynlie to collaborate with him after hearing her music, and the rest is history. Kynlie currently works for a business management company on Music Row, and William is pursuing his music career with his band— Nashville’s beloved “Boy Named Banjo.” They currently live in the West Meade area of Nashville with their two dogs Theo and Luna.
