We've got all the juicy details about how this power couple met and fell deeply in love. It all began at the 2023 Super Bowl in Arizona, where Hunter was smitten by Tara's athletic prowess on the pickleball court. Less than a year later, they got engaged while celebrating Thanksgiving with the Fieri family at their picturesque HuntRyde Ranch in Sonoma, California.

A Fairytale Wedding

The wedding of the season took place on Saturday at the lavish estate, with an impressive guest list of 350 loved ones in attendance. Who wouldn't want to witness the union of this dynamic duo? The festivities were a perfect blend of "ranch elegance mixed with cozy camp vibes," as if the Great Outdoors came alive to celebrate love.

The couple got engaged in 2023 while celebrating Thanksgiving with the Fieris. Hunter and Tara started dating in February of that same year after meeting at the 2023 Super Bowl in Arizona.

A Cake Fit for Royalty

Buddy Valastro, the star of Cake Boss, whipped up a stunning six-tier masterpiece that left everyone speechless. But, in an exclusive chat with People (now on TheScholarlyNote.com), Buddy spilled the beans: "It was a challenge" to transport this edible work of art from his New Jersey bakery all the way to California!

Family Ties

Hunter's mom, Penelope Ferry (Guy Fieri's 81-year-old mom!), played an unforgettable role as the flower girl. We can only imagine how thrilled she must have been to participate in her grandson's special day! The proud papa, Guy Fieri, gushed about his new daughter-in-law to People: "She has good values and is just a really great person so I couldn't be happier for Hunter." Talk about a seal of approval!

Celebrity Chefs Join the Fun

You guessed it – this wedding was a culinary dream come true! Acclaimed chefs like Cesar Orozco, Lorena Garcia, Antonia Lofaso, and Aaron May joined forces to create an unforgettable dining experience. Buddy Valastro, still reeling from his cake-making feat, didn't forget about the other culinary stars in attendance.

Love and Support

Hunter's 19-year-old brother Ryder (yes, you read that right – they're only two years apart!) served as the best man, giving us all a glimpse into this tight-knit family. We can only imagine how proud Guy Fieri is of his sons, who have found their perfect matches in Tara and their mother, Lori Brisson.

A Family Legacy

The Fieris are known for their warm hospitality, and it's clear that Hunter has inherited those charming traits from his parents. After all, as Guy Fieri once said about his son's romance with Tara: "This is a big deal... to see him this happy and also to see him have a partner that is as driven as he is, it's perfect."

A Love Story for the Ages

Hunter and Tara's whirlwind romance has captured our hearts. Who wouldn't fall in love with someone who shares their passion for pickleball? As the newlyweds begin their new life together, we can't help but wonder what the future holds for this dynamic duo.
