Cristiano Ronaldo wrong-footed everyone and tied the knot behind closed doors, with no fans in the stands and no media watching, exactly one year after his marriage proposal.
Arguably, the most eagerly awaited 'YESSS' of the year took place on Tuesday 11 August, in Cascais, where the couple have a new home, at an intimate civil ceremony attended only by their five children, according to their press office.
Although no one else appears to have been invited, the world still received a keepsake at the end of the ceremony. The newlyweds treated their millions of followers with a photograph of their hands, showing their wedding rings. In the caption, a discreet "C" and "G".
The image, shared on both their Instagram accounts, surpassed four million likes in less than 40 minutes.
Everything that was written and speculated about Cristiano Ronaldo's wedding turned out, in itself, to be more interesting than the ceremony.
