Wedding planning has officially started forOlivia Culpo.
The model,who got engagedto football playerChristian McCaffreyon April 2, is getting into the nitty gritty of planning her big day. But, she admits, it isn’t easy.
“It’s so much work,” she shared during anAmazon Livewith fans on Tuesday.
Culpo also revealed during the Q&A that she had no idea the engagement was coming.
“Christian deserves an Oscar for his performance,” the 30-year-old joked. “He was leading me astray the entire time. I kept asking him if he was ready to get engaged or if he had any timeline in mind because I was starting to get kind of annoyed … he never let out a peep.”
One fan asked the bride-to-be if she knew what kind of wedding dress she’d like to wear.
“I do have an idea in mind, but I have found that you never know until you try the actual dress on … I don’t know, I do have an idea. It’s a lot of pressure,” Culpo said.
She also shared some of the locations she’s considering for the wedding.
“My parents want us to get married in Newport, I don’t know about that. I do like the idea of mountains so we will see,” she shared. Culpo also said that she’s hoping to get married soon, because “I want to have little babies so that would be amazing.”
The fashion-savvy star revealed thather dog Oliver, a toy golden doodle, will be making an appearance in the ceremony as a ring bearer. “We are working on his stay command at the moment,” she said.
Culpo also shared with fans that she was initially hoping to keep her engagement a secret.
“I feel like as soon as you let other people in you are really opening yourself up to being criticized,” she explained. “I wanted to keep it a secret for a very long time but unfortunately it happened. It is what it is.”
