Surprise, confusion and, above all, many questions. This is what remains after the unexpected cancellation of the wedding of the bullfighter Juan Ortega and his partner, the cardiologist Carmen Otte. A wedding that promised to be one of the story-telling links of the season, but that ended up becoming the best script for a soap opera.
There were just a few hours left to say 'I do' in Jerez de la Frontera and the bullfighter planted the bride at the altar. The reason, as has been learned, would have been the right-hander's "doubts" about this commitment. The result, 500 guests who were astonished, a banquet and party prepared, rings, a wedding dress... The big question now is, who can afford the more than 70,000 euros that all this is estimated to have cost?
A suspended wedding is a challenge at all levels for both the bride and groom and the families of the couple. As a general rule, if a wedding is canceled, anything that the bride and groom have signed together is the responsibility of both (for example, catering contracts and so on).
Now, what should have been a jackpot of money on a day of joy and happiness can turn into a real nightmare. From the beginning, the bride's family began to make arrangements so that the bullfighter, responsible for canceling the wedding, would be responsible for all of the costs.
A grand wedding that never took place, which cost more than 70,000 euros in total. According to the latest revelations from the bride's environment to the newspaper El Español, the cardiologist is "broken. She won't stop crying. She can't find comfort." The family would not be considering - at least for the moment - filing lawsuits against the bullfighter, who has finally been responsible for the full costs of the match.
For now, Juan Ortega remains confined in Seville in the house he still shares with Carmen Otte. The bullfighter has shielded himself and turns a deaf ear to criticism, even restricting comments on his Instagram posts. The future of both is uncertain, and the bride's family is the one who is showing their face, dealing with the consequences of the right-hander's unexpected decision at the last minute; Well, she did not seem to express any doubts during the celebrations of the events prior to the wedding.
It is unknown if anything happened at the pre-wedding party, but just hours later Ortega decided to cancel his wedding with the young cardiologist, who still does not believe his partner's doubts. "There is no right to do so much harm to a person on what was going to be a very happy day," commented the guests, among whom were famous people from the world of bullfighting such as Curro Romero, Pepe Luis Vargas, Juan José Padilla, Morante of Puebla or Roca Rey.
