Anna Hall Marries Darius Slayton at Oheka Castle
anna hall and New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton exchanged vows on April 11 at Oheka Castle on Long Island. The wedding brought together an Olympian and an NFL player in a setting described as a historic mansion on the Gold Coast of Long Island. The couple’s path to the altar began with a social media connection, then turned into a relationship that led to an engagement in November of 2025.
The wedding day at Oheka Castle
The ceremony took place at Oheka Castle, where the couple said they wanted a setting that could carry Anna Hall’s vision for the day. Slayton said the planning process was fun and that he wanted to help bring that vision to life. He added that the castle offered the right canvas for the celebration.
Anna Hall said the wedding planning had to fit around a demanding schedule, while she was in competition season. Their planner, Courtney Leeder of Courtney Elizabeth Events, and Hall’s mother helped push decisions forward during a hectic stretch. The couple married five months after their engagement.
How anna hall and Darius Slayton connected
The pair first connected after Slayton saw Hall running on television and followed her on Instagram. Hall said she did not read much into the follow at first and assumed it was simply one athlete respecting another. They stayed social media acquaintances until 2024, when Slayton was in New Jersey for physical therapy and Hall was nearby for a track meet in New York.
On his day off, Slayton visited without Hall knowing. He sent her a video of one of her jumps, told her “Good job!, ” then introduced himself properly and asked her to dinner. Hall said they hit it off immediately.
Anna Hall, the dress, and the final details
Hall said the dress search was unexpectedly easy. One week after the engagement, she made three dress appointments in Los Angeles while celebrating Thanksgiving with family. She found her dress at the second appointment and said it felt like herself the moment she put it on. The dress was by Eden Aharon and was paired with Manolo Blahnik heels.
She also chose refined jewelry and wanted a natural beauty look. Hall said she wore her hair down because it felt different from her life in sport, where it is almost always up. She wanted makeup that looked as natural as possible and made her feel like herself.
What they said about the proposal
Slayton proposed on the track at the same stadium in New York where they had met. Hall said he told her they were going on a date in the city, which did not seem unusual at first because they often did that. Her suspicion rose when he dressed up, something she said he never does. When the car pulled up to Icahn Stadium instead of a restaurant, she knew what was happening.
Slayton recalled taking her back to the same stadium for the proposal, turning a shared place into the center of the moment that led to their marriage.
What comes next for anna hall and Slayton
The wedding closes a relationship that moved from a brief social media exchange to an engagement and then to a castle ceremony on Long Island. Hall and Slayton now enter married life after a year-plus relationship that grew around demanding athletic schedules and careful planning. For anna hall, the next chapter begins after a wedding day built to reflect both the setting and the couple’s story.
