It's a RI wedding: Olivia Culpo and Christian McCaffrey plan to tie the knot in Lil' Rhody

After spending "a really long time" trying to decide on a wedding venue, former Miss Universe Olivia Culpo decided to return to her roots in Rhode Island for the big day.

On TikTok, the 2012 Miss Rhode Island shared that she was back in the Ocean State to see her wedding venue in person. The reality star is engaged to NFL running back Christian McCaffrey.

"I'm not going to tell you where it is yet," she said in the video. "It took us a really long time to figure out where we wanted to get married. We were thinking Colorado for a while. That's where Christian's from."

But it's hardly a surprise that Culpo, who lives in Los Angeles now, ultimately decided to come home for her wedding day. The couple celebrated their engagement in Rhode Island in July, she owns multiple restaurants in the state, she talks about her love of Little Rhody frequently in her reality show The Culpo Sisters, and her parents live here.

"I have to say, there is a lot of pride from our little state," she said in the video. "This is the smallest state in the country ... so people think Rhode Island is an island or some people think it's part of New York. It's the best state in the entire world, and I'm getting married here."

In the video, she also talked about wanting to start a family as soon as possible with McCaffrey after the wedding, and when one commenter shared a story about convincing her husband to move to Rhode Island, Culpo commented, "this is low key my dream."

A date for the wedding has not been announced yet.
