After their love story began during a chance meeting at Stagecoach in 2016, Tyler Rich and Sabina Gadecki are officially married. The couple wed on Friday, Sept. 20 in Murfreesboro, TN at the Saddle Woods Farm in front of 275 guests.
According to PEOPLE, the space was decorated with pampas grass, macrame, neon lights, string lights, vintage rugs, teepees and more, as a way to honor their first encounter.
“We met at a music festival and spend so much of our time together on the road at shows [and] festivals,” the newlyweds told the publication. “So we wanted to throw a festival-themed wedding so our guests could take a step into our lives for a night.”
“I was watching the show from the side of the main stage and saw Sabina with her friends down in the pit,” Rich recalled of their meeting on May 1, 2016. “So I snuck down and perfectly placed myself right in front of her group with my friend Alex, and we made sure we had such a great time in front of them that she and her friends would wish they were part of our group. Well, it barely worked — we quickly said hello and she left. I had to do the rest of my courting via an Instagram direct message.”
The personal touches didn’t end at decor as Rich and Gadecki invited a large bridal party (13 groomsmen and 12 bridesmaids) to stand by their sides. Ayesha Curry, who attended with her husband Stephen Curry, was also in the bridal party. Other guests included Jon Pardi, UFC fighter Anthony Pettis, NBA player Dorell Wright, actor Dylan Playfair, Sirius XM’s The Highway host Mary Carlisle Young, professional fisher Aaron Britt and model Ubah Hassan.
They were also married by their friend Ambrosio “Boskie” Lopez. “Nobody knows us better as individuals and as a couple at the same time,” they shared.
Their first dance was to Coldplay’s “Yellow,” which also marked a special moment in their relationship.
“We first said ‘I love you’ when listening to ‘Yellow,’ and it’s been our song ever since,” they said. “That first dance to ‘Yellow’ in front of everyone we love so much will live forever with us.”
Now that they’ve tied the knot, the couple look forward to many happy years together as husband and wife.
“I’m so excited to build a life together from scratch,” he said. “To know that decades from now when there is an entire new generation beneath us, that it all started back in September 2019 when we kissed and said, ‘I do.’ It’s a really beautiful thing.”
The couple hopes to embark on a honeymoon shortly after Gadecki finishes filming on the movie False Positive. Rich will wrap the year with a slew of headlining tour dates, as well as opening for Jon Pardi and Brantley Gilbert.
