The wedding took place at Childress Vineyards in Lexington, North Carolina

NASCAR's 12-time most popular driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. married his longtime girlfriend, Amy Reimann, on New Year's Eve in 2016. The wedding took place at Childress Vineyards in Lexington, North Carolina. The venue is owned by NASCAR team owner Richard Childress and is located less than five miles from his RCR Racing operations. The vineyard is situated in the Yadkin Valley American Viticultural Area (AVA), North Carolina's first federally designated region for grape growing.

Earnhardt and Reimann's wedding was a highly anticipated event, with the couple receiving many offers from people wanting to help with the nuptials. However, they had not initially planned to get married so soon after their engagement. In an interview with eonline.com, Earnhardt shared that they wanted to wait for the following year's Sprint Cup Series schedule to be released to choose an off-weekend for their wedding.

Childress Vineyards is a popular winery in North Carolina, known for its beautiful grounds and atmosphere. It offers a tasting room, a gift shop, and daily lunch service. The vineyard also hosts various events, such as live music on Friday nights, and has a bistro that serves food and wine.

Dale Jr. has a phobia of jewellery

NASCAR's 12-time most popular driver, Dale Earnhardt Jr., has a phobia of jewellery. In 2015, Earnhardt revealed that his fear of jewellery was "the biggest holdup" in his getting married to his then-girlfriend, Amy Reimann. The phobia is called kosmemophobia, and Earnhardt has described it as feeling "grossed out" by metal jewellery in the same way that some people react to spiders. He has said that he doesn't like wearing jewellery and that he doesn't like being close to it.

Earnhardt has attributed his phobia to his older sister, Kelley Earnhardt Miller, who used to chase him around the house with necklaces when they were children. Despite his phobia, Earnhardt did eventually marry Reimann in 2016, after a nearly 18-month engagement.

Earnhardt's unique wedding ring is made of wood, and he also wears Qalo rings, which are made of a rubber composite material. He chose a wooden ring because he didn't want to wear metal and he didn't want to wear a ring that could get scratched or broken.

Reimann has been very understanding of her husband's phobia, and she often opts for a jewellery-free appearance in deference to him. Earnhardt has said that he has been upfront with Reimann about his phobia and has let her choose whether or not to wear jewellery herself.

The couple had been dating for over four years before getting married

NASCAR's 12-time most popular driver, Dale Earnhardt Jr., and his longtime girlfriend, Amy Reimann, had been dating for over four years before getting married.

The venue was particularly significant as it is owned by NASCAR team owner Richard Childress, who had a long-standing association with Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s father.

Earnhardt Jr. and Reimann's relationship had been well-publicised, with fans often speculating about a potential wedding. In an interview, Earnhardt Jr. acknowledged the public interest in their relationship, stating that they frequently received questions about when they would get married. Despite the public pressure, the couple took their time, enjoying a low-key romance. In fact, Earnhardt Jr. playfully described one of their Valentine's Days together, where they separately bought cheap candy from a drugstore before returning to their bus.

While Earnhardt Jr. had a jewellery phobia and didn't plan on wearing a wedding ring, he was open to the idea of marriage. In 2015, the couple revealed that they had not yet set a wedding date but were considering their options. They wanted to find a date that worked around Earnhardt Jr.'s busy NASCAR schedule, aiming for one of the off-weekends. Eventually, they settled on New Year's Eve, with Reimann announcing their plans on Twitter.

The wedding ceremony was a star-studded affair, with some of the biggest names in NASCAR in attendance. The couple shared their happiness on social media, with Reimann tweeting about her love and joy, while Earnhardt Jr. expressed his excitement for their future together as husband and wife.

The couple embarked on their honeymoon after a romantic ceremony attended by some of the biggest names in NASCAR, including Danica Patrick and Ricky Stenhouse Jr.

Although the exact details of their honeymoon remain private, it is known that Dale Earnhardt Jr. wanted to get cleared for racing before the wedding so he could focus on the wedding and honeymoon for a few weeks.

Amy Earnhardt, a Texas-born interior designer, met her husband when she was hired to design his Kannapolis house in 2009.
