Olivia Culpo shared a romantic kiss with her NFL fiancé Christian McCaffrey at her elegant Malibu bridal shower this weekend.
The 32-year-old, who was Miss Universe 2012, wore wedding white to the glamorous party, which was thrown on a patio with a dazzling ocean view.
With the sun-dappled sea visible behind them, Olivia and her husband-to-be gathered each other in their arms in front of her guests.
Christian, a running back for the San Francisco 49ers, matched Olivia’s look in a clinging white t-shirt that showed off his musclebound arms.
That day Olivia fired up her Insta Stories and treated her fans to a few glimpses of the festive affair her loved ones threw for her.

As the guest arrived, they were met with a shelf full of goodie bags that were advertised as ‘Something Blue Before I Do.’
There was also a ‘Bloom Bar,’ which was a display full of bouquets that the partygoers were presumably allowed to take home.
Outside on the patio, Olivia and her nearest and dearest settled down to lunch at a single long table suited to conversation.
She shared a silent video of herself giggling with her mother Susan Curran and teasingly asked her fans: ‘What do you think we were talking about lol’?
Her Insta Stories also included a clip of herself sharing a warm embrace with Kathleen Messier, who is engaged to Christian’s brother Max McCaffrey.
Kathleen and Olivia could be seen laughing uproariously together in the video, which Olivia captioned: ‘The future Mrs. McCaffreys.’
Olivia also made sure to include a testimonial to her gal pal, celebrity spray tan artist Isabel Alysa, who was the mastermind of the party.
‘Thank you for throwing me the best bridal shower a girl could’ve asked for,’ she wrote over a clip of her and Isabel hugging. ‘Love you @isabelalysa’.

She and Christian could be seen posing for pictures in front of a lush floral backdrop that had been specially erected on the patio for the occasion.
The bride also posted a video of herself making her grand entrance at the shower, surrounded by a coterie of women who were presumably her bridesmaids.
Prior to the event itself, Olivia posted a reel that showed her trying on two different white dresses and trying to decide which one she should wear.
The first outfit she modeled was a sleek white minidress, which she worried about wearing because it might show off the ‘so many bruises’ on her legs.
She ultimately opted for a long off-the-shoulder white frock that fell to the floor and somewhat resembled a full-fledged wedding dress.
Olivia and Christian struck up their romance over the summer of 2019 and were together nearly four years when he proposed last April.
He got down on one knee and presented her with a ring at the Amangiri resort in Utah, a ultra-luxe glamour spot that had become flypaper for celebrities.
Olivia previously dated NFL heartthrob Danny Amendola, but they split in 2018 after he was glimpsed frolicking on the beach with another woman.

Months later Olivia revealed on The Jenny McCarthy Show that once she was single again, famous married men began trying to chat her up online.
However in 2019 she struck up her romance with Christian, the man she credited in years later with ‘restoring my faith in love.’
While marking their third anniversary on Instagram, she unveiled the backstory of how she and Christian first became an item.
‘Three years ago I was not looking for a relationship. When my best friends Kristen & Tyler called me and asked if I would be open to meeting their friend Christian I was apprehensive,’ Olivia recalled in her caption.
‘I was worried it would be the same old story all over again and that all guys were the same. While my expectations were low, I knew I couldn’t close myself off and make decisions based on fear,’ she acknowledged.
The beauty queen reflected: ”I’m so grateful for the voice inside me that told me to give love another chance. The yin to my yang, you are the epitome of strength through humility. Thank you for being my rock and restoring my faith in love. You are everything I ever dreamed of and more.’
