Details of Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez’ intimate wedding ceremony have emerged.
The billionaire footballer, 41, made headlines last week when he got married to his long-time partner, 32, in an ‘intimate and private’ ceremony, a year after he popped the question with a £3million ring.
Vogue Magazine has now released photos from the wedding, revealing that Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez exchanged vows in the living room of their £30 million mansion in Cascais, Portugal.
‘It was exactly as I’d imagined it,’ said Rodriguez, admitting that she ‘couldn’t hold back the tears’.
Jornal de Notícias published a copy of their marriage certificate on Thursday, which confirmed just four witnesses were present, as well as their children.
Ronaldo’s mother, Dolores Aveiro, and his siblings Hugo, Elma, and Katia were not present and reportedly found out about the wedding just 30 seconds before.
‘In the future we will have a big wedding so we can celebrate with family and friends,’ Rodriguez shared with Vogue following a ‘crazy year’ of commitments in both their work and personal lives.
‘When I was a little girl, I dreamt of the biggest castle, the biggest carriage, the longest dress, a crown full of diamonds. And now I’m saying, “No. I want something intimate, with my partner and our children, at home.
”
‘Because castles, houses, islands, horses, cars: we have all of that within reach every day. But something intimate – that’s more unusual for us.’
Ronaldo himself chimed in when asked whether being married will change anything.
‘Just the fact of being man and wife – you enter a different league,’ he said, going on to say this is ‘probably [his] last year of football’, so his future is ‘all mapped out’ as he commits to spending more time with his family… not even ruling out the possibility of another child.
‘Another baby now would be overbooking at home. But when the youngest are 15 or 16, we’ll still be young, so why not? It’s true that I can’t imagine myself without small children, so we’ll see,’ said Rodriguez.
‘I never say never,’ declared Ronaldo. ‘I want to leave a spectacular legacy.’
After tying the knot, the newlyweds were seen in their first outing with their children on Saturday night at the Saudi Pro League match between Al-Nassr and Al-Fateh at Al-Awwal Park in Riyadh.
