NextImg:Connor McDavid marries Lauren Kyle in multi-day wedding extravaganza after Stanley Cup heartbreak

Congratulations are in order for Oilers captain Connor McDavid.

The 2015 first overall pick — whose Oilers were eliminated in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final by the Florida Panthers in June — married interior designer Lauren Kyle in Ontario recently, as seen in photos published by Vogue Australia.

The wedding took place outside at Old Woman Island, a small island across from Lake Muskoka, where the couple got engaged last summer.

They also have a cottage on Lake Mushoka.

Oilers winger Evander Kane also attended the wedding, according to another snapshot.

“It was a 10 day production, four events in different locations, and building infrastructures on an island with only boat access,” Kyle told the publication.

The theme of the nuptials was European summer.

Guests were asked to dress in “old money themed attire” and hues of pink and purple pastel tones, similar to the hydrangeas planted at the venue.

“The European summer dream really came to life with the colorful outfits, gardens, spritz bar, tennis court and Jazz band leading us into the most beautiful night,” Kyle gushed.

Kyle said McDavid, who’s usually reserved, was unexpectedly emotional during the ceremony.

“An unexpected element of the wedding were Connor’s vows. He is usually more reserved and quiet about his emotions but his vows were so emotional and heartfelt — it was really special to share that in front of all of our friends and family.”

Kyle wore five vintage looks, including a Ralph Lauren runway dress from the spring/summer 2007 collection — and a Chloé dress, which was famously worn by supermodel Kate Moss on the runway in 1997.

She wore a custom Vivienne Westwood gown for the ceremony, and a dress by Danielle Frankel for their welcome dinner.

McDavid wore a custom tux by Cloakroom, a menswear label based in Montreal for the ceremony.

He donned a Brunello Cucinelli green linen suit for his first look.

The newlyweds took a boat ride around the lake after they tied the knot.

“Connor and I took a victory lap around the island on a vintage wooden boat; it was so nice to have a moment together; appreciate where we were, and all of the people who showed up to support us,” Kyle said.

“We got to really relish in the moment.”

It came nearly two months after the Panthers defeated the Oilers 2-1 in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final to win their first title.

McDavid won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the most valuable player in the playoffs.

McDavid proposed to Kyle in Ontario last June after a historic season — he finished with 64 goals and 153 points — which earned him his third Hart Trophy as the NHL’s 2023 MVP.

Kyle runs her own full service interior design business, Kyle & Co., in Edmonton.

The couple also have a dog, Lenard, a miniature Bernedoodle.
