Georgina Rodríguez, wife of football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, has revealed the intimate details behind their wedding, explaining why the couple opted for a private ceremony in the living room of their home in Cascais, Portugal. The couple, who married on August 11, 2026, chose a low-key celebration over the lavish event many might have expected.
As a little girl, I envisioned the grandest castle, the most magnificent carriage, the longest gown and a crown adorned with diamonds
Rodríguez shared that her childhood dreams of a grand wedding, complete with castles and carriages, evolved as she built a family with Ronaldo. "As a little girl, I envisioned the grandest castle, the most magnificent carriage, the longest gown and a crown adorned with diamonds," she recalled. However, her priorities shifted, leading her to desire "something intimate, shared with my partner and our children, in the comfort of our home."

The decision to marry at home was particularly meaningful given the couple's extraordinary access to luxury. "We have access to castles, houses, islands, horses, and cars every day. However, an intimate gathering is something more unique for us," Rodríguez stated. The living room was chosen specifically because it is the heart of their daily life, the place where they share meals and everyday moments. She expressed a desire for their children to retain lasting memories of this special occasion occurring within their familiar surroundings.

"In 30 years, I want our children to remember that something wonderful occurred at this table, the wedding vows of our parents," she added. The ceremony was attended by their five children and four witnesses. Rodríguez's choice of a white silk Gucci skirt suit also held symbolic weight, referencing the Gucci store in Madrid where she and Ronaldo first met in 2016. While this intimate ceremony took place, the couple has not ruled out a larger celebration with friends and family at a later date.
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
