The couple’s big day was nothing short of a fairy tale as they said “I do” in a twelfth-century castle.

Sluss, 28, and Funk, 26, picked the scenic location after agreeing to wed in a destination they had vacationed at before.

The TV personality walked down the aisle in a custom strapless gown designed by The Wedding Studio.

“It’s exactly what I wanted,” she said of the corset-styled dress. “I felt it was simple enough, yet elegant and timeless.”

As for the Detroit Lions star, he sported a tux from The Gentleman’s Playbook.

While Sluss boasts an emerald-cut engagement ring, Funk flaunted his new silver wedding band, which he had engraved with his and the influencer’s initials inside.

The gesture was a nod to the running back’s family, as his dad’s wedding ring holds the same sentiment.

“It was a way to honor his dad and continue that tradition,” Sluss explained. “I thought it was really special because often there are many customizations for girls, but for a guy, this was a deep gesture.”

The Bachelor Nation star and Funk plan to explore Tuscany for a few days before heading to Switzerland for their honeymoon.

“We plan to indulge in food and cooking classes and really start off our marriage by teaching him how to cook,” Sluss quipped.

When they return home in July, the two will gather their friends and family for a reception party in Miami, Fla.

Funk explained they decided to pack all their wedding festivities close together to avoid potential delays when football season starts up in September.

Sluss and Funk, who’ve been dating since late 2021, got engaged in January 2023.

The Nashville native believes fellow WAG Taylor Swift will be the next to get a ring from her boyfriend Travis Kelce, as she told Page Six that engagements usually “happen in the offseason.”
