Ryan Blaney and his longtime girlfriend, Gianna Tulio, recently tied the knot in a picturesque and intimate ceremony in Aspen, Colorado. The couple, who first met in 2018 at Loser’s Bar in Las Vegas, have been inseparable since, and their wedding marked the beginning of a new chapter in their relationship.
The ceremony took place amidst the breathtaking backdrop of snow-capped mountains, creating a dreamy, winter-themed setting. Approximately 150 to 200 close friends and family members attended, including notable NASCAR stars such as Chase Elliott, Bubba Wallace, Daniel Hemric, and Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Blaney and Tulio, who got engaged in December 2023, wanted their wedding to reflect their focus on quality time with loved ones. Tulio explained that Blaney’s demanding NASCAR schedule makes time with family and friends especially meaningful.
“Spending quality time with all of our loved ones is super important to us,” Tulio shared in an interview with People. “With Ryan being a professional NASCAR driver, we are on the road every weekend almost every month out of the year, so we value every second we can get with our friends and family.”
She described the event as “everything I have ever dreamt of as a little girl for a wedding … the most magical night of my life.”
The event was planned by Karli Spangler Events and held at the luxurious Hotel Jerome. Tulio wore an elegant V-neck wedding gown, while Blaney looked dashing in a black suit with a bowtie and fur scarf. The wedding, titled “Winter Enchantment: A Candlelit Aspen Affair,” was designed to capture the magic of the season.
Spangler Events shared glimpses of the ceremony on Instagram, with the planner expressing excitement about the “dazzling winter affair” and promising more photos to come.
The couple has decided to postpone their honeymoon until April next year, planning to travel during Easter when Blaney’s schedule allows for time off. “Since we travel almost every weekend out of the year, we decided to enjoy our offseason at home with our animals,” Tulio explained.
As photos from the wedding went viral, fans flooded social media with congratulations for the happy couple, celebrating their love story and magical wedding day.
