Cristiano Ronaldo outmanoeuvred everyone and got married behind closed doors, with no fans in the stands and no media in attendance, exactly one year after the proposal.
The most eagerly awaited "YESSS" moment of the year took place on Tuesday, 11 August, in Cascais, where the couple have a new home, in an intimate civil ceremony attended only by their five children, according to his press office.
Although no one was invited, everyone still got a keepsake at the end of the ceremony. The newlyweds treated the world to a photograph of their hands, showing their wedding bands. In the caption, a discreet "C" and "G".
Everything that was written and speculated about Cristiano Ronaldo's wedding ended up being, in itself, more interesting than the wedding. Even the episode of the "invasion" of the Sé da Madeira cathedral, on the island where the football star was born and which had long been tipped as the likely wedding venue, last Sunday, after rumours that Cristiano and Georgina would marry there, turned out to be downright comical.
Of all the theories that sprang up around the nuptials, only one came close to reality: the date. The marriage did indeed take place in August. However, no one expected it to be on a Tuesday or in such a low-key moment.
