Ryan Blaney and his wife Gianna Tulio kept "the wedding as intimate as possible"
Team Penske driver Ryan Blaney married his long-time girlfriend Gianna Tulio on Thursday, December 12, 2024, at Hotel Jerome in Aspen, Colo. The couple married one year after Blaney popped the question to Tulio last December after winning his one and only Cup Series title.
Mrs. Blaney was featured in an exclusive interview with People Magazine and mentioned that the couple only invited their close family and friends to the wedding designed by Karli Spangler Events. The couple went for a winter wedding with the theme 'Winter Enchantment: A Candlelit Aspen Affair'.
Around 150 to 200 people attended the wedding, and a few stars from NASCAR, including Bubba Wallace, Austin Cindric, Dale Earnhardt Jr., and his wife, Amy, also attended the ceremony. Tulio revealed that Blaney, being a professional race car driver, is also busy during the Cup Series season, and the wedding was the perfect time to spend time with the family.
"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," stated Gianna Tulio.
