The retired professional football player had more than 200 guests invited to the wedding, most of whom were friends and family.
Roy was taken down the aisle to Beyonce’s “Halo,” where she joined Oher and performed personalized vows following their unity sand ceremony. The couple was joined by sons MJ and Kobi and daughters Kierstin and Naivi.
The property’s ballroom was transformed into a magnificent setting by Roy, wedding planner, and designer Tiffanie Elliott, using light colors with blue accents, glass features, 8-foot-tall bouquets, and crystals.
According to Elliot, Roy’s passion for feathers was reflected in the wedding’s décor, cake, and ÉLYSÉE by Enzoani attire. After the wedding, guests enjoyed cocktail hour and a ballet performance before the bridal party made their entrance with a choreographed dance.
The lavish dinner included sassafras braised beef short ribs, wasabi cream red snapper, and whiskey-marinated chicken with creamy Carolina Gold rice and grilled asparagus. Espresso martinis were also served in an ice luge.
Ballerinas surrounded the newlyweds during their first dance before they danced to “This is Why I Love You” by Will Davenport.
The bride and groom celebrated with a second-line band while guests walked around the dance floor as a homage to Roy’s hometown of New Orleans. Oher was born in Memphis, the hometown of the band Al Paris.
Roy believed that the day was nonetheless full of so much joy, excitement, and happiness, although her LYSÉE by Enzoani dress got hooked on her shoe as she walked down the aisle.
The newlywed bride said that things had settled down, everyone had left, and she could finally sit down and chat with her husband about this day that seemed to have passed in a matter of seconds.
