Portugal great Cristiano Ronaldo, 41, and Georgina Rodriguez, 32, tied the knot on August 11 at an intimate ceremony in their summer mansion in the quaint town of Cascais in Portugal, contrary to reports that it would be a grand affair.
In a recent interview with American magazine Vogue, Rodriguez revealed why she chose simplicity over grandeur. “When I was little, I dreamt of the biggest castle, the biggest carriage, the longest dress, and a crown full of diamonds [for my wedding]. But now, I wanted something intimate, with my partner and our children, at home. Because castles, cars islands, horses: We have that within reach every day. But something intimate — that’s more unusual for us,” she said.
Interestingly, the couple exchanged their wedding vows in their living room. “It [living room] is the place where we have breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and where we live the reality of our lives. In 30 years’s time, I want the children to think that something wonderful happened at this table,” said Rodriguez.
