Kings of Leon drummer Nathan Followill wed longtime girlfriend Jessie Baylin on Saturday. The two were married in an outdoor ceremony at the Wolf Den Farm in Brentwood, Tenn., near to Followill’s Nashville hometown. The reception followed with dinner and dancing in a barn on the property.
On Sunday morning, Followill posted this message on his Twitter site: “I woke up with a married woman in my bed this morning. Luckily she was mine.” In return, Baylin Tweeted: “It’s official... Allow myself to introduce myself: Mrs Jessie B. Followill.”
Of the nuptials, a Kings of Leon spokesperson said, “It was a gorgeous 70 degree day and the wedding was beautiful. It was a very love-affirming wedding with lots of warmth and happiness.”
The ceremony was attended by fellow KOL bandmates, country crooner Billy Currington and Baylin’s childhood pal Scarlett Johansson.
The couple met at the music festival Bonnaroo in 2006 and was engaged in the summer of 2007. Together they’ve both seen their respective careers take off; Followill watched KOL’s fourth album Only By The Night experience remarkable commercial success while Baylin received critical acclaim for her major label debut Firesight.
