"It was everything I have ever dreamt of": Gianna Tulio shares her thoughts on wedding day with Ryan Blaney

Speaking with People Magazine, Ryan Blaney's now-wife, Gianna Tulio, made her feelings known about her wedding day. Tulio got sentimental and said the wedding was everything she ever dreamt of as a little girl.

Describing the thought behind inviting about 200 guests only, 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 had a heartwarming message for her now-husband.

"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 said.

The 26-year-old added:

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

Ryan Blaney and Gianna Tulio scheduled their honeymoon around Easter in April amid the 2025 NASCAR season. For now, the couple wants to spend the off-season at home with their animals.
