Christian McCaffrey and Olivia Culpo have tied the knot at a dreamy oceanside chapel in the state where the former Miss Universe grew up.

The much-anticipated ceremony - attended by a glittering roster of models and the groom's fellow San Francisco 49ers - unfolded in Rhode Island on Saturday evening.

DailyMail.com previously revealed the couple was staying at the luxury Ocean House hotel in Westerly on the balmy south-western edge of the state, before tying the knot at Watch Hill Chapel across the road.

Cops blocked off the street in the moments before the bride and groom entered the chapel - and they were further shielded from public view by an army of umbrella-clad employees.

The lux venue is only a stone's throw from Taylor Swift's sprawling beach-side mansion which overlooks the ocean on a hill nearby. 

But DailyMail.com caught a glimpse of Culpo's extravagant Dolce & Gabbana wedding gown as she left the chapel and slipped into a white car after the hour-long ceremony.

The bride stunned in the eye-catching dress which billowed out several meters across the ground behind her.

Culpo, 32, opted for a modest high neck and long sleeved fit which clinched the waist before blooming into the ginormous layered skirt. 

She wore her long hair loose beneath a delicate, lace-trimmed veil.

The influencer shared a closer look at the beautiful gown with her 5.5 million Instagram followers in several official pre-wedding shots posted moments before she made her grand entrance at the chapel.

Running back McCaffrey, 28, was also seen slipping into their car in his wedding suit after the ceremony. They drove just a few yards across the road back to the luxury hotel where they have been staying in the build up to their big day.

Around a hundred guests were seen on the stairway to the luxury daffodil-yellow resort before the wedding - including Victoria's Secret model Devon Windsor who stunned in a low-cut silver maxi dress accessorized with delicate silver bangles.

Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Brooks Nader also turned heads in a glittering navy blue maxi dress with cutouts to accentuate her incredible figure. 

She enjoyed drinks on the hotel lawns just before with her new boyfriend, Prince Constantine Alexios of Greece and Denmark.

They were also spotted approaching the resort earlier on Saturday morning as anticipation for the nuptials built.

The pair weren't yet in their wedding clothes at that point. Nader, 27, wore a black minidress beneath a black leather jacket, while the 25-year-old prince sported a loose-fitting shirt and jeans.

It's unclear how long their relationship has been going on. Daily Mail confirmed that Nader was divorcing her husband Billy Haire after four years of marriage just a few months ago.

NFL players Kevin Hogan, Soloman Thomas, and Aziz Shittu were also seen beaming as they enjoyed a catch-up before the wedding, along with 49er George Kittel in a separate group on the front lawns of the hotel. 

The stunning New England- style resort is the most premium place to stay in Rhode Island as the only AAA Five Diamond and Forbes Five-Star hotel in the state.

On the eve of the wedding, hotel employees could be seen laying wooden flooring out front beneath a white tent with five turrets, surrounded by a plume of purple hydrangeas, where the afterparty is expected to kick off later on Saturday.

A winding path through the manicured hotel gardens takes guests down to a private beach overlooking the azure Block Island Sound.

 McCaffery and Culpo were seen enjoying the beach earlier this week.

They set off on their 3,000-mile journey from Van Nuys, Los Angeles, on a private plane decked out with rose petals and flowers on Monday.

They even brought their dog Oliver with them to the New England state where Culpo grew up and won her first major beauty pageant - Miss Rhode Island 2012.

They were greeted by a huge 'Mr & Mrs' sign sitting outside the aircraft before they made their way on board.

Culpo and McCaffrey were treated to champagne and a three-course meal on their wedding flight, along with a digital photo frame consisting of some of their cutest photos together.

Culpo previously said she wanted Oliver to be heavily involved in the wedding ceremony this summer, setting her sights on their dog being a ringbearer on the day.

McCaffrey is currently enjoying the NFL offseason after the 49ers' gut-wrenching defeat to the Kansas City Chiefs in last season's Super Bowl.

The running back had a remarkable 2024 campaign on an individual level, ranking first in the NFL for rushing yards (1,459) and fourth for touchdowns (14).
