About the wedding of the mayor of Madrid José Luis Martínez Almeida and his fiancee Teresa Urquijo It has every chance of becoming new ammunition to shoot in the City Council plenary sessions every time the opposition wants to hit where it hurts most. Getting married in the middle of Serrano Street in front of more than five hundred guests and a display of media that would like to attend your official events has its own merits, not to mention in turbulent times where the magnifying glass is placed on any unjustified gesture or boast. But that’s what it’s like to fall in love and want to celebrate a whole wedding.
One of the mayor’s guests, the former president, knows a little about that. José María Aznar who already experienced his own with his daughter’s wedding in El Escorial Anna and Agag. From that link there are still criticisms and images of a wedding that was a waste and a frenzy of guests and display. Aznar did not get that invitation free of charge and many took note that in politics a low profile is a safe value in personal matters.
But the mayor and his brand new wife have turned a deaf ear to reason and have followed what their hearts asked of them. A “lifetime” wedding with the pageantry of the ceremony and traditions. The bride has paid tribute to her predecessors by updating the wedding dress worn by her mother and grandmother (cousin of King Juan Carlos) while the mayor has used tailoring to make a classic morning suit with a cream-colored vest and no flowers or stridency. The most striking thing about the bride and groom was the very long veil that the bride wore and the happy faces of both of them. It is not for less. For both of them it is their first true love since they do not have a known romantic past and those things are obvious. “I can’t stop puffing“Almeida said hours before the link.
Great moment of the arrival at the Jesuit church with the neighbors and curious people taking over the street to see the parade of guests was the arrival of the emeritus Juan Carlos and his daughters the Infantas with some of their grandchildren. There was a family photo at the end of the ceremony. Juan Carlos, Elena (sunglasses should be banned at weddings), Cristina with his son Juan and the media Froilan with a tie almost as long as the ones Father Angel wears and Victoria Federica that she must have left in a hurry and left her earrings at home.

Of course, as a good “influencer” she took the opportunity to promote a dress signed by her intimates. Tomas Paramo And his wife María and she spent three towns with the tanning makeup that she likes so much despite the orange color of her skin. This branch of the Bourbons went to the wedding as relatives of the bride but the most striking thing was how Queen Sofia distanced herself from that image by doing a “hannover” which is going directly to the banquet. Was it about avoiding the photo with Juan Carlos?

According to rumors in palace circles, the couple had the illusion that the real kings would come, Felipe and Leticia with her daughters, but the mixture of Bourbons became complicated and hence only a part attended, the “discontinued” of the hard core, and Sofia was left on neutral ground, whom we have seen a lot this past Easter, first with the legionnaires in Malaga and then with the Cristo de los Alabarderos in Madrid.
As in all posh weddings, the most fun thing to discuss among friends is the parade of models of the attendees. In this the men did not take risks since neither the PP politicians nor the aristocrats or invited family members are those who bet on extravagances. That’s why the red carpet is for women and their outfits.
In general terms it was all very “comme il faut” that in this type of links risks are fair. Among the most elegant and with her own style I found the bride’s grandmother Piru Urquijo and her sensational coat dress and from the political world I choose the skirt (only the skirt) of Feijoo’s wife, Elena Cardenas; the shawl with a traditional touch of Carla Royo Vilanovathe great hair of the president of Atlético de Madrid Enrique Cerezo, the six-strand pearl necklace Esperanza Aguirre and the freshness of Isabel Diaz Ayuso with a bougainvillea dress from the Victoria brand (Vicky Martín Berrocal) that left the shoulder exposed and combined with a net headdress that never fails. The Spanish brands once again triumphed among the guests, such as the Modesto Lomba model that the Duchess of Huéscar wore and that she acquired at the Es Fascinante brand, where she also found the complete ones and headdresses from the Mimoki house that Queen Letizia once launched.

As a friend of the couple told me at the time, this wedding had a date set by the bride and between jokes and non-jokes she always repeated that she refused to marry a fifty-year-old man. In a few days the mayor will turn 49 (next the 17th) and Teresa’s wish has already been fulfilled although in the lot there is still the wish that within a year they can have a baby and all without reaching that round figure that so He didn’t like it much. The honeymoon will be on exotic beaches, as far away from the paparazzi and with the hangover of a wedding that will bring more queue than the one the bride wore before the altar.
