The bride is here! Olivia Culpo and Christian McCaffery have officially tied the knot.
The star-studded guests at the couple’s dream seaside wedding were spotted ahead of the official ceremony, with DailyMail.com getting a special glimpse of the bride.
San Francisco 49ers running back McCaffrey married the former Miss Universe, his partner of the last five years, on Saturday night after proposing to her last year.
DailyMail.com previously revealed that they will be staying at the luxury Ocean House hotel in Westerly, a town in the warm southwestern corner of Rhode Island, before tying the knot at Watch Hill Chapel across the street.
The wedding venue is located next door to Taylor Swift’s home, where the pop star once cavorted with ex-boyfriend Tom Hiddleston and used to host extravagant Fourth of July parties. Culpo posted photographs of her opulent wedding dress on Instagram minutes before the nuptials began at the gorgeous church.

The star-studded guests at Christian McCaffery and Olivia Culpo’s dreamy seaside wedding have been spotted ahead of the official ceremony, and DailyMail.com got a special glimpse of the bride.
Culpo posted photos of her opulent wedding dress on Instagram minutes before the nuptials began at the beautiful church.
But police blocked the street minutes before the ceremony began, and the bride and groom were escorted across the street under a shield of umbrellas to hide them from the dozens of excited locals who gathered on nearby sidewalks.
Before the road was closed, DailyMail.com spotted around 100 guests dressed in black tie leaving the Ocean House resort, including Victoria’s Secret model Devon Windsor, who dazzled in a plunging silver maxi dress adorned with delicate silver bracelets.
Meanwhile, Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Brooks Nader turned heads in a sparkling navy blue floor-length dress with cutouts to accentuate her incredible figure.
Moments earlier, she had enjoyed cocktails on the hotel lawn with her new boyfriend, Prince Constantine Alexios of Greece and Denmark.
The new couple was also spotted approaching the resort early Saturday morning as anticipation grew for the nuptials.
At that time, they were not yet wearing the wedding attire. Nader, 27, wore a black minidress under a black leather jacket, while the 25-year-old prince sported a baggy shirt and jeans.
It is unclear how long the relationship has been going on. The Daily Mail confirmed just a few months ago that Nader was divorcing her husband Billy Haire after four years of marriage.

Most attendees have stayed at the five-story, daffodil-yellow hotel, which on Saturday formed an imposing silhouette against ocean views.
Before McCaffery and Culpo were married, guests entered the chapel beneath an elaborate 12-foot-tall floral arch that workers spent several hours assembling Saturday morning.

On the eve of the wedding, employees could be seen setting up a wide wooden deck out front under a five-turreted white tent, surrounded by a column of purple hydrangeas, where the after-party is expected to begin later.

Finally the road was closed to guests.
Many of the guests brought umbrellas to take a break from the heat.

McCaffery and Culpo were spotted enjoying the beach earlier this week.
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.
They even brought their dog Oliver with them to the New England state where Culpo grew up and won her first major 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 honeymoon flight, along with a digital photo frame containing some of their cutest photos together.
The special white wedding car was also seen.
In the back of the car there is a bouquet of flowers and a newlywed card.
Also on board was toy goldendoodle Oliver, who sat on his mother’s lap for the entire flight.
Culpo recently said she wants Oliver to be heavily involved in the wedding ceremony this summer, and for her dog to be the ring bearer on the 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 remarkable 2024 campaign individually, ranking first in the NFL in rushing yards (1,459) and fourth in touchdowns (14).
