José Luis Martínez-Almeida is just a few hours away from passing through the altar and becoming Teresa Urquijo's husband. "I think he had never been so nervous in my entire life. I spend the day huffing and puffing," the mayor of Madrid revealed during his last work commitments before the wedding. Likewise, he is "happy" and "hoping that it can arrive this Saturday."
A long-awaited moment that has already been called the wedding of the year and will have more than 500 high-level guests. Among them, King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofía have already confirmed their presence, according to EFE, who will also be joined by the Infantas Cristina and Elena, and even Froilán and Victoria Federica.
And it is not surprising that the king's family wanted to go through this link taking into account the relationship of Teresa Urquijo. Almeida's future wife is the granddaughter of Teresa of Bourbon-Two Sicilies and Bourbon-Parma, cousin of the king emeritus. Although there will also be numerous businessmen, politicians and athletes who do not want to miss this event.
A day that will begin at 12:00 p.m. on April 6 with the religious ceremony that will take place in the Parish of the Sacred Heart and San Francisco de Borja, also called the Jesuits of Serrano church. This neo-baroque temple has been chosen at the express wish of the councilor due to the sentimental burden it carries. José Luis Martínez's parents, now deceased, were married in this same church.
Taking into account the level of the guests, the expectation for the wedding and the chosen location, located in the heart of the Salamanca neighborhood, it is not surprising that the security device is large. And the United States embassy is located a few meters from the parish. Something that makes everything shielded even more than it already would be.
As soon as the bride and groom become husband and wife, they will all move to El Canto de la Cruz, in Colmenar Viejo, a farm located several kilometers away. The reception and subsequent party will take place right there. A choice that also has symbolism as it is one of the properties of Teresa Urquijo's maternal grandparents.
Right here the guests and the newlyweds will enjoy a banquet that will cost no more and no less than 90,000 euros. And it will be necessary to add "various dishes to the cocktail, of which they had to choose six; a three-course menu that will consist of first, second and dessert. The sirloin will serve as the star dish," according to Mañaneros. The food you will taste will be provided by the Lhardy restaurant, an establishment that has been dedicated to haute cuisine since 1839.
After this, they will go on to enjoy a few hours of partying, which will, in turn, have an open bar for almost 10 hours. Everything planned so that this wedding, which will be talked about a lot in the coming days, turns out in the best possible way.
And some details about the bride and groom's wardrobe have also emerged. On the one hand, Teresa Urquijo will wear a classic dress and an illusion tulle veil. On the other hand, José Luis Martínez-Almeida has opted for a gray suit with a mustard-colored vest. Data that has been revealed in the aforementioned program.
After the wedding, the long-awaited honeymoon will arrive. The newlyweds will fly to the Maldives Islands to bathe in the waters of the Indian Ocean. There, they will spend several days in a luxury bungalow located in the middle of the water, as Look and Vanitatis revealed. But that won't be all. Afterwards, they will spend two days at a Buddhist compound in Bhutan, where they will enjoy views of the Himalayas.
