Guadalajara — Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez and the model Fernanda Gómez said yes in front of the altar of the Guadalajara Cathedral.
In addition to family and friends of the couple, the wedding party on Saturday May 22 was attended by personalities from the world of entertainment such as J Balvin, Prince Royce and Jaime Camil, as well as the boxer’s brothers and their trainer José “Chepo” Reynoso.
The ceremony began after 7 pm, after the uproar caused by dozens of supporters of the Mexican boxing champion who gathered outside the church, which was fenced off with metal fences two hours earlier.
The bride arrived in a Mercedes-Benz truck, while the “Canelo” arrived in a Rolls-Royce, from which he descended to greet the fans from a distance and then enter the temple accompanied by his mother, Mrs. Ana María Barragán.
Fernanda wore a wedding dress made by Elie Saab Haute Couture.
Once the religious ritual was finished, and as husband and wife, Álvarez and Gómez kissed before the popular clamor and then got into the truck and started on the way to the reception.
The celebration was held at Rancho Las Reinas, in San Isidro Mazatepec, where there would be more personalities from entertainment, politics and sports, as well as artists such as Maná and Banda El Recodo, among others, to liven up the celebration.
According to employees of the Cathedral, Álvarez asked that the church look impeccable, so he sent the flowers that adorned the place from Friday.
One of the most emotional moments of the night was when to the rhythm of “Bendita la Luz”, the couple went to the center of the floor to dance.
The party, according to sources close to the couple, was organized by Gonzalez + Helfon, who showed part of the montage in the celebration on Instagram.
The super middleweight champion of the WBC, WBA and WBO and his wife became boyfriends in 2016, but months later they separated due to an alleged infidelity on the part of the Guadalajara.
Being on a sentimental hiatus, the model announced that she was pregnant with the boxer.
Finally, they welcomed their little girl María Fernanda in 2017 and gave themselves a new opportunity in 2019.
On Saturday, May 15, they were married civilly in Punta Mita, Nayarit, a week after “Canelo” defeated Billy Joe Saunders.
“Canelo” is expected to return to the ring to unify the super middleweight championships in September, to face IBF monarch Caleb Plant.
Various media announced the approximate cost of the wedding amounts to more than half a million dollars, although the sum could be higher, since only the El Recodo Band, charges $ 100,000 per presentation, Maná $ 400,000 and Los Ángeles Azules charge no less than $ 70,000 .
Guests were served a four-course dinner that included beef tartar, artichoke cream, beef short rib with mashed potatoes and vegetables, and for dessert a dish called Marifer’s Carousel. To drink there was red, white, rosé, champagne, tequila, whiskey, brandy, and vodka.
