Football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez have exchanged vows in an intimate home ceremony in Portugal, marking their union with their five children as the sole attendees. The couple tied the knot on Tuesday, August 11, exactly 10 years after their first meeting at a Gucci store in Madrid.

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 Iโ€™m saying: no. I want something intimate, with my partner and our children, at home.

Rodriguez revealed in a Vogue interview that her childhood dream of a grand wedding has evolved. "When I was a little girl, I dreamt of the biggest castle, the biggest carriage, the longest dress, a crown full of diamonds," she shared. "And now Iโ€™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 โ€“ thatโ€™s more unusual for us."

Their wedding attire held significant meaning, with both opting for Gucci designs. Rodriguez wore a white skirt suit, while Ronaldo chose a custom beige cotton suit. This choice served as a tribute to the place where their relationship began in 2016, when Rodriguez, then a sales assistant, covered a shift for a friend and met Ronaldo when he visited the boutique.

It felt incredibly special to dress Georgina and Cristiano for this moment, knowing their love story began in a Gucci store in Madrid. There is something so romantic about it โ€“ a beautiful circle closing, almost like a modern fairy tale.
