Lyles, known for his spontaneous personality, has no plans to write his wedding vows ahead of time. "I have a bet going on with my brother's girlfriend," he revealed. "I told her about two years ago that I would wing my vows, and I stand true to that." While Lyles is confident in his ability to improvise, Bromfield has a different approach. 'I most definitely will not,' she laughed, adding that she prefers writing her vows, especially with her nerves in large crowds.
The couple also clashed on the size of their wedding. Lyles, who loves big celebrations, was hoping for around 400 guests, but Bromfield managed to get the number down to 250. "If it was up to Noah, we'd probably have like 400 people," she said. "We're only having about 250, so I got the number down a little bit."
Their guest list will include a mix of Olympians and sports stars, as Lyles anticipates "three tables of Olympians all the way from the '80s to 2024."
As for the theme, the wedding will reflect Bromfield's Jamaican heritage, with plans to incorporate Jamaican culture into various elements, from the makeup artist to the dress. "One of our wedding themes will be all things melanin, all the shades," she shared.
Lyles is particularly excited about the music, wanting the reception to be lively and interactive. "I want everybody to have fun and interact with each other," he said.

"I want the cultures mixing, people taking photos and everybody showing up in their Sunday best."
The couple also plans to honor their late loved ones at the wedding. Bromfield shared a touching idea Lyles had: setting up empty chairs at the front of the venue with pictures of her mother and brother, who have passed away.
As they look ahead to their future together, Bromfield said, "When I think about spending my life with Noah, I feel very excited because I know there's so much the future holds for us."
Lyles added, "With the goal being that we grow old together, with great kids and great grandkids."
This spring wedding promises to be a heartfelt celebration of love, culture, and the exciting future Lyles and Bromfield are about to build together.
