Olivia Culpo and Christian McCaffrey are approaching the ultimate end zone: their wedding day.

The former Miss Universe and the San Francisco 49ers running back—who got engaged in April 2023—kicked off their celebrations in style, boarding a private jet to Olivia's home state of Rhode Island with their dog Oliver.

"Let it begin," she captioned a series of June 24 Instagram pics, including a shot of a "Mr. & Mrs" sign outside of the plane, balloon decorations, as well as a glimpse of their "wedding flight" menu.

"So happy for you friend," Maria Menounos commented on the sweet snaps, while Bachelor Nation's Becca Tilley wrote, "Wowowow!!!"

This weekend's nuptials come shortly after Olivia teased her wedding day must-haves, which, of course, include her groom.

"He definitely has to be there," she joked with E! News in March. "He's a non-negotiable."

"Groom, family, great weather," the 32-year-old continued. "Actually, you know what? I'm going to leave the weather part out because whatever happens, happens."
