Michael Oher, the retired NFL player who inspired The Blind Side, has tied the knot with his longtime lover, Tiffany Roy. Deets on their romantic wedding inside…
Former NFL player Michael Oher just scored a touchdown of a lifetime.
The former Tennessee Titans offensive tackle—whose life inspired the 2009 film The Blind Side—tied the knot with his girlfriend of 17 years, Tiffany Roy, in a romantic ceremony at the JW Marriott in Nashville, Tennessee, over the weekend. The 36-year-old shared a photo from their fairytale nuptials and captioned it, “Filled with joy, can’t believe people took their time and came to celebrate! My beautiful wife, I love you so much, thank you for blessing me with our family!,” he wrote.
He continued, “Easily the best single weekend I’ve ever been apart of.Not being from the area everyone came to was even more special. I won’t be able to tell everyone thank you, if I saw you this weekend , thank you! I’m complete, let’s keep trending upward”
Aww.
The wedding ceremony included a performance by ballerinas, a choreographed dance from the bridal party, and a second line band parade as a nod to the bride’s hometown of New Orleans, according to PEOPLE.
The couple’s seven-tiered towering cake was nearly 5 feet tall and 7.5 feet tall when elevated off the floor — even taller than Oher.
“When putting together the design concepts for the wedding, I knew I wanted the cake to be large. Since Mike is such a tall groom, it had to match him,” Tiffany told the outlet. “Also, since it was a focal point of the room it had to be a stunner.”

“The most magical part was our vows,” said Tiffany, who wore a LYSÉE by Enzoani dress for her nuptials. “To hear Mike express his feelings in front of 200-plus people was astonishing and romantic. I really felt like a true queen.”
The newlyweds have been together for 17 years after they met at the administration building of the University of Mississippi. Michael got down on one knee and proposed to Tiffany on July 12, 2021.
The couple has two daughters, Kierstin and Naivi, and two sons, Kovi and MJ. Their son Kobi escorted Tiffany down the aisle to Beyoncé’s “Halo.”
”Since everything has calmed down, everyone is gone, and now I can actually sit down and talk to my husband about this day that seems like it went by in a matter of seconds,” Tiffany continued. “Michael has a glow in his eyes when he looks at me. He puts me first no matter what he has on his schedule for the day he makes sure his family is taken care of. I love his love for his family and our kids.”
Congrats to the couple!
