NHL superstar Connor McDavid and interior designer Lauren Kyle have officially tied the knot in a stunning, multi-day celebration set against the serene backdrop of Muskoka. The couple exchanged vows on July 27th on Old Woman Island, their chosen slice of paradise. Kyle, whose design sensibilities shone throughout the event, described the locale as their “favourite place in the world,” noting its peaceful and calming influence.
The festivities were nothing short of grand, featuring five different high-fashion bridal looks by Kyle. The wedding began with a formal rehearsal dinner held on a converted steamship, where guests donned “old money themed attire,” creating a vintage atmosphere enriched by memorabilia and family photographs. Another highlight was an outdoor party where guests were invited to dress in pastel hues, enjoying cocktails on the tennis court and dancing to a jazz band. Kyle noted, “The European summer dream really came to life,” thanks to the vibrant outfits, beautiful gardens, and elegant arrangements.
On the day of their nuptials, Kyle made a striking appearance in a strapless custom Vivienne Westwood Couture gown. The ceremony took place on a floating dock, capturing a perfect blend of timeless elegance with a touch of modern sophistication. McDavid’s vows, which Kyle described as unexpectedly heartfelt, added a deeply personal touch to the ceremony, highlighting his emotional depth despite his typically reserved nature.
Following the vows, the newlyweds enjoyed a private moment before immersing themselves in the evening's festivities. They took a nostalgic “victory lap” around the island on a vintage wooden boat, cherishing the serene surroundings and the support of their loved ones. “We got to really relish in the moment,” Kyle shared.
The romance of McDavid’s proposal last June adds an extra layer of magic to their story. At their Muskoka cottage, McDavid led Kyle on a trail of flowers to a beautifully set-up deck, serenading her with “Only Love” by Ben Howard before popping the question. Kyle, overwhelmed with joy, declared it “the best day” of her life, reflecting on their eight years together and the future they look forward to.
This wedding wasn't just a celebration of their union, but a testament to their shared journey and the love that brought them together.
