Olivia Culpo and Christian McCaffrey are getting married with the help of a pint-sized, furry family member

Model Olivia Culpo and NFL star Christian McCaffrey will be joined at the altar by the most adorable guest we’ve seen in a while… 

 

Oliver Sprinkles, the couple’s undeniably-darling toy goldendoodle! 

 

This tiny bundle of cinnamon-colored cuteness will likely serve as the couple’s ring-bearer, ‘delivering’ the wedding bands when it’s time for the ring exchange, although his official role has yet to be decided.

Olivia announced Oliver’s participation in the upcoming wedding during an Instagram story Q&A back in March, which was later shared in a sweet story by People magazine.

 

Oliver Sprinkles (full name Oliver Sprinkles Culpo McCaffrey), like his celebrity parents, is no stranger to the limelight. He has his own Instagram account with nearly 23,000 followers, and makes regular public appearances with the couple. 

 

Whatever role he ends up having on the big day – whether he’s ring-bearer, flower pup, or simply on 'pawty patrol' – we’re sure he’ll make the crowd smile!

Olivia and Christian’s wedding date hasn’t been announced, but planning for the Rhode Island ceremony is in full swing. The couple began dating in 2019 after being introduced by mutual friends, and became engaged in April of 2023. Since then, they’ve shared regular updates on social media about the difficulties (and joys) of organizing a large wedding (via The Providence Journal).
