Vogue publishes exclusive photos of Ronaldo and Georgina's wedding

Until this Sunday, it was the most talked-about and at the same time most secret wedding in living memory. Everyone knew that Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez were going to get married, but no one knew when or where. Anyone who bet on Funchal lost. And anyone who imagined a gigantic ceremony with hundreds of guests did too.

The wedding is still one of the most talked-about, but it is no longer a secret. When the couple posted a photo of their wedding rings on Instagram a week ago, everyone was taken by surprise. It then emerged that the wedding was an intimate ceremony, held at the couple's home with their children in Cascais, on Tuesday 11 August at 13:30, exactly ten years after their first meeting at the Gucci shop in Madrid, where Georgina was working as a sales assistant.

The gathering was reduced to the bare minimum: besides the five children (Cristiano Ronaldo Junior, twins Eva and Mateo - Ronaldo's biological children only - and the couple's two daughters, Alana Martina and Bella Esmeralda), there were just four witnesses: Miguel Paixão, a friend of the footballer since his academy days at Sporting, Ivana Rodríguez, Georgina's sister, and their friends Jose Rodríguez Sangil and Monica Gonzalez Martinez, a Spanish jeweller and his wife. We also learned that they married under a separation of assets regime.

We already knew the details, but what everyone wanted was still missing: the photos. How were the bride and groom and their guests dressed, how was the house decorated? The suspense is over, as Vogue has just published everything (source in Portuguese). That explains the intense secrecy and why no photos or information about the outfits had leaked until now: the couple gave an exclusive to the American magazine, which published the photos on its website this Sunday and is expected to feature them in its next print edition, out in September. The couple are also on the cover of Vogue's summer digital edition:

The ceremony itself may have been civil, but Cristiano, Georgina and the children attended a Mass to bless their union, as shown in Vogue's images. The magazine also presents a photo shoot with Georgina surrounded by her children.

In other photos, the couple are working out at home:

The photos also show Georgina wearing top-of-the-range Chopard jewellery by the pool and while exercising, as well as during the ceremony itself. The clothes could not be more discreet: a light-coloured suit and white shirt without buttons or tie for him; a white skirt-and-jacket ensemble and an equally white shirt for her. Vogue's photos, all shot by Juergen Teller, also reveal part of Georgina's shoe collection and Ronaldo's rosary. The video below shows the standout moments from the photo shoot:

In the words that accompany the photographs, Georgina tells the magazine how she experienced the day and how it was different from what she had dreamed of as a child:

"When I was little, I dreamed of the biggest castle, the biggest carriage, the longest dress, a crown full of diamonds. Now I say: no. I want something intimate, with my partner and our children, at home. Because castles, houses, islands, horses, cars: we have all that within reach every day. But something intimate, that is much rarer for us," Georgina confided to Vogue. The journalist Gaby Wood, who wrote the report, adds: "In the economy of fame, privacy is priceless".
