Former NFL player Michael Oher has scored a different kind of touchdown. Oher, whose hard-earned path to football glory was depicted in Michael Lewis’ best-selling book and film “The Blind Side,” wed his longtime girlfriend, Tiffany Roy, in a lavish ceremony.<\/p>\n

The pair’s nuptials took place in Nashville, Tenn., and was attended by 200-plus people, according to\u00a0People<\/a>. Taking to\u00a0Instagram<\/a>, Oher, 36, shared a photo alongside Roy at the altar. “Filled with joy, can’t believe people took their time and came to celebrate,” Oher captioned the post. “My beautiful wife, I love you so much, thank you for blessing me with our family! Easily the best single weekend I’ve ever been a part of.”<\/p>\n

The caption continued, “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.”<\/p>\n

The couple, who share sons Kobi and MJ and daughters Kierstin and Naivi, have been together for 17 years before tying the knot. They met at the University of Mississippi.<\/p>\n

“The most magical part was our vows,” Roy, who became engaged to Oher in July 2021, told\u00a0People<\/a>. “To hear Mike express his feelings in front of 200-plus people was astonishing and romantic. I really felt like a true Queen.”<\/p>\n

For Roy, taking her first few steps down the aisle is a moment she will always cherish. “For a few seconds, my mind was cloudy,” Roy says. “Everything was moving so fast that I could not hear or focus on my own thoughts.”<\/p>\n
