“Why I Gave Up My Dream of a Lavish Wedding and Married Cristiano Ronaldo in Our Living Room” — Georgina Rodriguez

Georgina Rodriguez has revealed why she and football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo chose to have a private wedding at home rather than the lavish ceremony many might have expected.

The couple announced their marriage in a joint Instagram post on Tuesday, August 11, revealing that they exchanged vows in the living room of their mansion in Cascais, Portugal.

Speaking to Vogue, Rodriguez explained that her idea of a dream wedding had changed over the years. As a child, she imagined a grand celebration complete with a castle, a magnificent carriage, a long gown and a diamond-adorned crown.

However, she now prefers something more intimate and meaningful.

Rodriguez said she wanted a ceremony shared with Ronaldo and their children in the comfort of their home.

“We have access to castles, houses, islands, horses, and cars every day. However, an intimate gathering is something more unique for us,” she explained.

She also revealed that the living room held special meaning for the family because it is where they spend much of their everyday lives.

“We chose to hold the ceremony in our living room, the place where we share breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and where we experience our daily lives.”

For Rodriguez and Ronaldo, the intimate setting made their wedding feel more personal than an extravagant celebration could have.
