The country music artist, 36, exchanged vows with Amanda Toler on October 7 at his parents’ beautiful home in Granbury, Texas.

Officiated by officiant and close friend Riehla Simkins, the wedding ceremony was filled with touches that made a big emotional impact, including the couple’s heartfelt personal vows.
“We decided to write each other a letter that we would read before the ceremony,” explains the singer/songwriter, whose new full-length album, The country will be finewill be released on October 27. “Now that’s something we’ll hold on to forever.”

The couple’s love story began four years ago, when Byrnes left Nashville to make his home in Texas. The house he moved into happened to be owned by Toler’s grandparents. “I knew Grandma Lynn, and I always told her that if she talked Amanda out with me, I could be her father-in-law,” Byrnes laughs.

The couple eventually met at the Mule Barn bar and restaurant in Justin, Texas in 2019, but it would be another two years before their relationship turned romantic. “That second night at the Mule Barn when we reconnected, I just felt it,” Byrnes recalls. “As our relationship began to grow, I just felt true love for the first time and knew that I had a partner and a best friend who would always have my back. We really would be a team that could conquer the world together.”
Adds Toler: “I knew David was the one because he made me feel safe,” explains the bride, 29, whose big day look was completed by hairstylist and makeup artist Maddi Robbins. “I knew he loved me unconditionally. There is nothing better than spending the rest of your life with your best friend.”
The wedding day, planned by Texas-based Kendra’s Events and captured in a series of exclusive photos by Jenny Bright Photography, also allowed the couple precious time to spend with close family and friends, some of whom they say they don’t get to see often enough.

“Because of our work, we don’t have time to spend much with our loved ones,” explains Toler, who works as an intensive care nurse while also helping her family raise longhorn cattle. “We were excited to spend the night with those we love the most.”

After the couple’s emotional ceremony, they celebrated at their reception where guests dined on an array of delicious barbecue dishes prepared by Byrnes’ brother-in-law Scott VanPelt, along with cakes from Dough Girls Bakery, owned by Byrnes’ nephew Clay Goshien’s wife, Mindy Goshien.
The whole event was truly a family affair and the newlyweds feel lucky to have so much love around them as they embark on their future.

“Our lifestyles can be challenging, but we’re always there for each other,” explains Byrnes. “We are always there for each other. Make sure we communicate and have each other’s backs no matter what life throws at us. We always remember that we are a team.”
As the husband and wife ‘team’ embark on their future which will include “growing our family together”, the couple plan to enjoy some time off on their honeymoon first.
“We have a secluded cabin in Jackson Hole, Wyoming,” says Byrnes. “We are so excited to enjoy the beautiful state and wildlife.”
