Ryan Blaney married his longtime girlfriend, Gianna Tulio, in a winter ceremony Thursday Dec. 12 at the Hotel Jerome in Aspen.
The couple, who have been together for more than four years, celebrated their wedding on Dec. 12, exactly one year after Blaney proposed on a snow-covered bridge in Washington.
Approximately 150 to 200 guests attended the wedding, including several prominent figures from the racing world. Among those in attendance were fellow NASCAR drivers Chase Elliott, Tim Dugger, Scott McLaughlin, Daniel Hemric, Austin Cindric, Kevin Coleman, Bubba Wallace, and IndyCar driver Josef Newgarden. NASCAR Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt Jr. and his wife, Amy, also attended.
Karli Spangler Events planned and designed the wedding, creating a “whimsical” winter atmosphere at the historic hotel.
The date, 12/12, naturally, matches the car number Blaney drives for Team Penske.
