Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez chose a deeply personal setting for their wedding, exchanging vows at the dining table in their home in Cascais, Portugal, rather than opting for a lavish venue.
After 10 years together, the couple married on Tuesday, August 11, surrounded by their children and four witnesses in a ceremony that reflected the life they have built together.
For Georgina, the decision was less about creating a glamorous wedding and more about giving their children a memory they could treasure for years.

Why Ronaldo and Georgina married at home
Speaking to Vogue, Georgina explained why the couple chose their living room for such an important moment.
"We've chosen to do it in the living room of our house here where we have breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and where we live the reality of our lives," she said.
The 32-year-old said she wanted the wedding to become part of the family's everyday memories.
"In 30 years' time I want the children to think, something wonderful happened at this table – the wedding vows of our parents," she said.
The decision was a significant departure from the grand wedding she once imagined as a child.
"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 I'm saying: no. I want something close-knit, with my partner and our children, at home," Georgina shared.
The wedding date also carried special meaning. It fell exactly 10 years after Georgina first met Ronaldo while working at a Gucci store in Madrid.
