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.
She is a mother of four

Roy does not have public social media accounts where she shares info about her kids, and Oher also does not publicly post about them. However, Roy did reveal a sweet moment from her wedding day with her son Kobi as she got ready to walk down the aisle.
“I heard my son ask me, ‘Are you ready?’ and I said, ‘Of course I am, I’ve been waiting a long time for this magical day.’ It was filled with so much joy, excitement and happiness,” she told PEOPLE.
She owns a clothing boutique
Roy is the owner of a Nashville clothing boutique, Feminish Collection.
“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.
She says Oher always puts her first
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.”
She added, “It’s also understanding and being patient with the person you want to go through good and bad with and to know that this is the person who will have your back and be loyal to you, and that’s why I choose Mr. Michael Oher my King who will love me and our family no matter what. I would not want no fairytale with no one else but this man I will always and forever love you.”
