The news comes nearly a year after Ronaldo proposed to Georgina and weeks after Portugal's 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign ended in disappointment against eventual champions Spain.
While neither Ronaldo nor Georgina has officially confirmed the ceremony, preparations are reportedly well underway.
Date and Venue For Ronaldo's Wedding
According to Sun Sport, Ronaldo and Georgina will exchange vows on August 8 at the historic Funchal Cathedral, located in Madeira's capital city.
The report adds that weddings there kick off at 3pm.
The choice of venue reflects Ronaldo's strong connection to his hometown, where he spent his childhood before beginning his journey to football superstardom.
Following the ceremony, the couple are expected to host family and guests at the five-star Savoy Palace hotel.
Guests have been informed that two floors and several bar areas will be closed on Friday and Saturday because of a private event, further fuelling speculation that the venue has been reserved for the wedding celebrations.
Ronaldo and Georgina first met in 2016 and gradually made their relationship public.
The pair recently sparked fresh wedding rumours after they were seen on holiday in Majorca wearing diamond rings.

Ronaldo's World Cup dream fell short
The reported wedding comes after Ronaldo admitted he had hoped to celebrate his marriage as a FIFA World Cup winner.
Speaking to broadcaster Piers Morgan, the Al-Nassr captain said:
"I hope to arrive at my wedding with the champion's trophy."
That dream was not realised after Portugal were eliminated by eventual champions Spain at the 2026 World Cup in the Round of 16.
Despite the setback, Ronaldo appears ready to begin a new chapter in his personal life.
