Ryan Blaney married long-time partner Gianna Tulio in a winter wedding on December 12. The wedding planner, Karli Spangler Events, shared some of the moments during the couple's big day at Hotel Jerome in Aspen, Colorado.

Blaney is a 30-year-old NASCAR Cup Series driver under Team Penske. He made his relationship with Tulio public in 2020 before the couple got engaged three years later.

Karli Spangler Events posted the wedding photos on Instagram, which were featured in People Magazine. Blaney wore a black suit complemented by a bowtie and a fur scarf, while Tulio rocked a V-neck wedding dress.

"So thrilled to share images from this week’s beautiful winter wedding in Aspen at @hoteljeromeauberge for @ryanblaney10 and @giannatulio featured in @people - this dazzling winter affair was such a wonderful celebration of these two incredible people!" Karli Spangler Events wrote.

The wedding planner concluded by saying that more photos are coming soon. For now, the early photos showed the wedding had a winter theme called "Winter Enchantment: A Candlelit Aspen Affair." Around 150 to 200 people attended the event.

Fellow NASCAR drivers and long-time buddies Bubba Wallace and Chase Elliott were in attendance. They were joined by other NASCAR drivers, including Dale Earnhardt Jr., Daniel Hemric, and Team Penske teammate Austin Cindric.

In addition, IndyCar star Scott McLaughlin didn't miss Ryan Blaney's big day.

The couple decided to hold their honeymoon around Easter in April while the 2025 NASCAR season is underway. They want to spend the off-season at home with their animals.


Ryan Blaney's wife Gianna shares her thoughts on the wedding day

Gianna Tulio, Ryan Blaney's now-wife, made her feelings known about her wedding day. She said the wedding was everything she ever dreamt of as a little girl and was the most magical night of her life.

Speaking with People Magazine, Tulio shared:

"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."

She also talked about her now-husband fondly, saying:

"Ryan really helps calm my nerves. I'm most relaxed in the morning, sipping my coffee with him, so we decided to read our vows privately to one another [...] The thing we love most about each other is all the things we have in common. Then, the things we don't have in common, we find joy in those differences and embrace our differences."

Tulio added:

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

The two met in Las Vegas in 2018 when Ryan Blaney raced in Sin City and Gianna Tulio had a modeling gig with Hooters. It was Blaney's first year with Team Penske, driving the No. 12 Ford Mustang.

Gianna Tulio was by Ryan Blaney's side and witnessed the driver's first NASCAR Cup Series championship victory in November 2023. A month later, he asked for her hand in marriage in Leavenworth, Washington.

Now, the No. 12 Ford pilot will return to NASCAR as a married man. The 2025 season opener will be held at the Daytona International Speedway for the Daytona 500 on February 16.
