Culpo has previously given fans hints about what to expect on the wedding day. In March, she said she wanted the couple’s golden toy doodle Oliver Sprinkles to be part of the ceremony.

“I really want him to be the ring bearer,” she wrote.

The model recently said that deciding on the guest list is “by far the hardest part” of planning the wedding.

“It’s just complicated logistically,” she told People.

“Figuring out what everyone’s going to wear, figuring out, figuring out where everyone’s going to stay, making sure everyone’s happy.”

McCaffrey played a starring role as the 49ers reached the Super Bowl in February, but San Francisco lost in overtime to the Chiefs.
