Morgan Rielly and Tessa Virtue’s wedding

Virtue revealed in February 2024 that she and Rielly had tied the knot in two secret weddings. The couple's engagement was made public in January 2023, and Virtue shared how they met through mutual friends in Vancouver on the "Without Losing Your Cool" podcast.

According to hellomagazine.com, the couple's wedding festivities were intimate. They held their first ceremony at Toronto's Noce restaurant, followed by a second celebration in Tuscany. The couple entrusted Toronto wedding photographer Richelle Hunter to capture the essence of their special day.

“I feel this immense responsibility. [Morgan] deserves someone who is at the top of their game, someone who is aiming to be the best version of themselves I think there’s a desire to be the very best partners we can be for one another,” Virtue said (via hellomagazine.com)

"I never grew up dreaming about a wedding. I never thought I would get married. You know when something is just so meaningful to you that you simultaneously want to just hold on to it and protect it so fiercely, and also shout it from the rooftops?"

Virtue wore three custom dresses by Toronto designer Jaclyn Whyte for her wedding.

She expressed her trust in Whyte's designs, which perfectly complemented the significance of the moment.

“She had a vision and I totally trusted her,” Virue said (via hellomagazine.com)

Although the specific dates of the wedding ceremonies were not revealed, NHL fans noticed Morgan Rielly wearing a wedding band in November for his Peace Collective collaboration.
