The wedding, which took place in Aspen, Colorado, had a winter-themed setting, with snow-capped mountains and scenic views providing the perfect backdrop for the ceremony.

Blaney and Tulio’s special day was attended by close family and friends, including several NASCAR stars, such as Chase Elliott, Bubba Wallace, Daniel Hemric, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Approximately 150 to 200 individuals attended the event.

Blaney and Tulio first met in 2018 at Loser’s Bar in Las Vegas, where Blaney was in town for a NASCAR race, and Tulio was there for a modeling job.

The chemistry between the two was undeniable, and the couple quickly became inseparable. After years of dating, Blaney proposed to Tulio in December 2023, and now, they’ve exchanged vows.

Speaking about their decision to keep the wedding intimate, Tulio shared that due to Blaney’s demanding NASCAR schedule, spending quality time with loved ones was incredibly important to them.

“Spending quality time with all of our loved ones is super important to us, so we wanted to keep the wedding as intimate as possible. 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 told PEOPLE magazine.

About her wedding, Tulio said, "It was everything I have ever dreamt of as a little girl for a wedding … the most magical night of my life."
