The couple originally met around 2005 at the administration building of the University of Mississippi. Oher committed to play for the Ole Miss Rebels football team at the alma mater of his guardians, Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy.

After graduating with a degree in criminal justice, Oher was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in the 2009 NFL Draft as the 23rd pick in the first round. The offensive tackle played five seasons with the team, culminating with a Super Bowl win in 2013.

He signed a four-year contract with the Tennessee Titans in 2014, but was released by 2015. In March 2015, he signed a two-year contract with the Carolina Panthers but was released in July 2017 after a failed physical.

On July 21, 2021, Oher and Roy got engaged.

The bride wore an ÉLYSÉE by Enzoani dress and was escorted down the aisle by her son Kobi to Beyoncé's "Halo." The couple exchanged personalized vows after a unity sand ceremony at the altar.

"The most magical part was our vows," Roy told PEOPLE. "To hear Mike express his feelings in front of 200-plus people was astonishing and romantic. I really felt like a true Queen."

Wedding planner and designer Tiffanie Elliott decked out the venue’s ballroom in white with blue accents, plus feathers, flowers, glass and crystal elements. Attendees enjoyed an elaborate cake, a performance by ballerinas and a choreographed dance by the bridal party.

"Tiffany and Michael have been together for 17 years, so she wanted the guests to be met with an experience that was 'worth the wait,' " Elliott told PEOPLE of the couple.

Their wedding day also included a nod to each of their hometowns. The couple celebrated with a second-line band as guests paraded around the dance floor, a New Orleans tradition in honor of Roy’s hometown. The band, Al Paris, is from Memphis, where Oher was born.

“It was an idea that I had for a long time, but in the past I went back and forth on if the timing was right,” Roy said previously of starting her business.

“Towards the end of 2021 I dove right in and I’m so happy I did. I enjoy the ups and downs, and everything about building this brand. I hope to inspire women to have self-compassion and embrace their figure exactly the way it is,” she added.

Though the couple doesn’t share much about their relationship, Roy opened up on her business Instagram account about her new husband after their wedding day.

“I look back at my husband’s and I journey together and I can actually say it has been a fairytale, 17 chapters full of life lessons and love,” she shared. “Life and love is never easy but it’s when you are willing to fight, to learn from one another and to grow into a bounded couple.”

I would not want no fairytale with no one else but this man I will always and forever love you.”
