Golfer Dustin Johnson’s fiancee, Paulina Gretzky (33) was recently joined by her friend, Kristina Melnichenko and her mother, Janet Gretzky to plan the couple’s upcoming nuptials. Paulina was dressed in a white sports bra and matching leggings for the outing, topping off her look with a camel coat and white sneakers.
The group posed for a photo in what appeared to be The Barn, a James Beard Award-winning restaurant at Blackberry Farm. Last April, she lived every bride’s dream when she shopped for the perfect wedding dress with Vera Wang in New York City.
Paulina enjoyed a celebratory dinner with the renowned fashion designer before trying on a number of gowns at her bridal boutique. Dustin and Paulina met in 2012 and have been engaged since 2013 and are expected to tie the knot at Blackberry Farm, a luxury hotel and resort in the Great Smoky Mountains.
The couple shares two sons, Tatum (7) and River (4). Paulina is the daughter of retired ice hockey Hall of Famer Wayne Gretzky. Wedding bells are ringing Having been engaged for nearly a decade, it certainly looks like she is ready to go all out for her big day.
Just a few weeks ago, the bride-to-be was joined by eight of her closest girlfriends when she flew to St. Barts in a private jet for her bachelorette party and to celebrate her last days of singledom. Paulina documented her entire bachelorette weekend on her Instagram Stories.
The influencer, who has one million Instagram followers, tagged her friends Janet, Jeremy Cohen, her future sister-in-law Samantha Johnson, Kristina, Sara, Alex Brown, Brooke Hurt, and Ava Deylami. Paulina’s seat in the private jet was topped with goodies, including a white rose, a veil that was embroidered to say ‘Future Mrs Johnson,’ and playful bridal-themed headbands.
The hats the ladies wore for the event ordinarily cost $200 each, but they may have been a gift from Kristina, who co-founded Caviilou with Bahar Boroujerdi. Guests also enjoyed a custom bar menu with drinks named in Paulina’s honour, including ‘No Regretzkys.’
They were also given more gifts inside the villa. Snapshots and videos from the week-long getaway show the group dancing, singing, and enjoying plenty of drinks. And while Paulina had a great time with her friends, she wasn’t without her fiancé.

Paulina spoke about her longtime engagement on her sister-in-law Sara’s podcast, The Netchicks, last year.
“I don’t know if people know if me and Dustin are really married or not. We’re not,” she reminded listeners. ‘We’re so in love”. The couple is due to tie the knot this year, though the exact date remains unknown.
