The famous football player Cristiano Ronaldo and his partner Georgina Rodríguez have officially tied the knot. The couple held an intimate wedding right in the living room of their home in Portugal, marking exactly 10 years since the day they first met.

Why Did They Choose a Home Ceremony?

Despite his billionaire status and the resources for a grand celebration, the couple consciously opted out of a lavish party in favor of coziness and family warmth. In an exclusive interview with Vogue, Georgina talked about the decision in detail: "We decided to do it in the living room of our house here, where we have breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and where we live the reality of our lives... In 30 years, I want the children to think: 'Something wonderful happened right here — our parents' wedding vows.'"

Cristiano Ronaldo added with humor: "It will probably no longer be that table. We might change the decor."

Reflecting on childhood fantasies versus current realities, Georgina confessed: "When I was a little girl, I dreamed of the biggest castle, the biggest carriage, the longest dress, and a crown encrusted with diamonds. And now I say: no. I want something intimate, together with my partner and our children, at home."

She also emphasized the value of privacy for their family: "Because castles, houses, islands, horses, cars — we have all of that at our fingertips every day. But something truly intimate is a great rarity for us."

Details of the Big Day

The ceremony took place on August 10—exactly 10 years after they first crossed paths at a Gucci store in Madrid, where Georgina was working as a shop assistant. The day before, on August 10, they signed a prenuptial agreement regarding separate property ownership at a notary's office in Lisbon.

Their choice of attire was a nod to their first meeting. The groom wore a custom light beige cotton suit, a white T-shirt, and loafers, while the bride wore a sheer white shirt, a skirt, satin shoes, and diamond jewelry from Chopard. The children wore matching outfits, with the bride noting: "He's not going to dress us up... I didn't want us to be in suits on a day that is so simple for us."

Following the home ceremony, the couple visited the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fátema, where a local priest blessed their marriage. They skipped a honeymoon, returning straight to Saudi Arabia instead.

Sharing her emotions after the celebration, Georgina wrote in a message to Vogue: "Everything was just as I imagined. Intimate, full of love, and with our family playing the leading role. I couldn't hold back my tears."

She also confirmed that the couple is planning a large-scale celebration in the future: "In the future, we will have a big wedding so we can celebrate with our family and friends. It has been a crazy year filled with work commitments, competitions, and children."

A Surprise for the Family

The news of the secret wedding came as a surprise not only to the public, but apparently to Ronaldo’s own family as well. According to local media reports, the footballer’s mother, Dolores Aveiro, and his three siblings learned about the marriage barely 30 seconds before it began or after the fact.

TV host Cristina Ferreira stated on Portuguese television that the family's absence from the ceremony "will cause a lot of problems." Nevertheless, the footballer's mother and his sister Katia publicly supported the couple, leaving heart emojis under Ronaldo’s Instagram post featuring a photo of their wedding rings.
