Culpo's choice of dress for her big day has come in for some extremely harsh criticism on social media.

TikToker Kennedy Bingham said the Dolce & Gabanna gown gave off "pick-me vibes" and lacked personality.

McCaffrey, who is due back in training for the San Francisco 49ers this month, was upset to see the comments.

"What an evil thing to post online," he commented on an Instagram post featuring Bingham's criticism.

"I hope you can find joy and peace in the world, the way my beautiful wife does."

Bingham fired back: "So what's evil is pointing out the potential internalized misogyny behind her reasoning, your (imo) patriarchal comment, and the racist/ homophobic/fatphobic history of the designers she worked with?"

Culpo, 32, also defended her dress after being stunned by the negative reaction.

"Wow what an absolutely evil person you are," the model said.

"I hope no one ever tears you apart in this way because it's extremely hurtful. I love this dress and it was everything I ever wanted and more."

"One more for the dress of my dreams," she added posting a picture of herself in the gown.

"Thank you @dolcegabbana for executing my vision perfectly. I cried the first time I tried it on.

"From the very first sketch, this was it for me. My dream dress."

Jess Weslie - another creator - questioned Culpo's choice of make-up.

Olivia's interview with Vogue mentioned that she wore no mascara, eyebrow pencil, and lip liner.

Weslie said the interview gave off "pick-me energy" and "weird vibes."

"It was an interview….. they asked me what my makeup was," Culpo replied in the comments.

NFL Sunday star Greg Olsen seemingly had a great time at 28-year-old McCaffrey's wedding.

The former tight end-turned-Fox NFL analyst could be seen in one of the after-party group photos Culpo posted on Instagram after the wedding.

The snap showed Olsen with messy hair and the top of his white shirt unbuttoned – as if he had just come off the dance floor.

Top Fox sideline reporter Erin Andrews poked fun at Olsen in a comment under Culpo's post.

"U looked amazing!!! And so does @gregolsen88," she wrote, adding a couple of laughing emojis.
