Olivia Culpo and Christian McCaffrey in an elegant wedding. The 32-year-old model and her beau exchanged vows in a romantic Rhode Island ceremony on Saturday, June 29. They picked a quaint chapel in Watch Hill, fulfilling Christian's dream of a traditional church wedding.
Speaking to Vogue.com, Olivia gushed: "That was our number one priority. It's a covenant.
It's the beginning of the rest of your life-and it's the union and bond of two people forever." The model went for a classic look with a long-sleeve crepe crew neck Dolce and Gabbana ballgown, aiming for a dress that reflected the gravity of their commitment rather than sex appeal. She shared her vision: "I didn't want it to exude sex in any way, shape, or form.
I wanted it to feel effortless and as if it's complimenting me, not overpowering me. There's so much beauty and simplicity. It was exactly the same as the original sketch.
This is the first, last, and only wedding dress I tried on." Reflecting on her partner's preferences, she added: "When I think about Christian and what he loves and the moments that he thinks that I'm most beautiful, it's absolutely in something like this: timeless, covered, and elegant." For the big day, Olivia chose a dramatic 16-foot lace veil and kept her makeup understated, skipping mascara and eyebrow gel for a natural glow.
The couple, who began dating four years ago, announced their engagement in April 2023. True to tradition, Olivia insisted on keeping her gown a secret from Christian.
