Preparations were in full swing for Christian McCaffery and Olivia Culpo’s dream seaside wedding in Rhode Island on the eve of the big day.
San Francisco 49ers running back McCaffrey will marry the former Miss Universe, his partner of the last five years, on Saturday after proposing to her last year.
DailyMail.com can reveal they will stay at the luxurious Ocean House hotel in Westerly, a town on the south-west tip of RI, before tying the knot at Watch Hill Chapel across the road.
The five-story, daffodil-yellow hotel cut an imposing silhouette against a cloudless sky in the scorching Friday heat.
This stunning New England-style building is one of the most exclusive places to stay in Rhode Island, as it is the only AAA Five Diamond and Forbes Five Star hotel in the state.

DailyMail.com can reveal they will stay at the luxury Ocean House hotel in Westerly, a town in the far south-west of RI, before tying the knot at Watch Hill Chapel across the road.
On the eve of the wedding, employees could be seen setting up wide wooden floors out front under a five-turreted white tent, surrounded by a column of purple hydrangeas.
Beyond the tent, guests played croquet on the lawn framed by a stretch of ocean as valets and delivery trucks arrived with more materials.

A winding path through the hotel’s manicured gardens leads guests to a private beach overlooking the blue Block Island Sound.
McCaffery and Culpo were enjoying the beach, but were nowhere to be seen Friday.
They embarked on their 3,000-mile trip from Van Nuys, Los Angeles, on Monday on a private plane adorned with rose petals and flowers.

McCaffery and Culpo embarked on their 3,000-mile trip from Van Nuys, Los Angeles, on a private plane adorned with rose petals and flowers on Monday.
They even brought their dog Oliver with them to the New England state where Culpo grew up and won her first big beauty pageant: Miss Rhode Island 2012.
They were greeted by a huge “Mr. and Mrs.” sign placed outside the plane before boarding.
Culpo and McCaffrey enjoyed champagne and a three-course meal on their wedding flight, along with a digital photo frame containing some of their cutest photos together.
Culpo recently said he wants Oliver to be very involved in this summer’s wedding ceremony, setting his sights on his goldendoodle being the ring bearer that day.

McCaffrey is currently enjoying the NFL offseason following the 49ers’ heartbreaking loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in last season’s Super Bowl.
The running back had a notable 2024 campaign as an individual, ranking first in the NFL in rushing yards (1,459) and fourth in touchdowns (14).
