This Saturday, April 6, the mayor of Madrid, José Luis Martínez-Almeida and Teresa Urquijo pass through the altar to get married. The couple says ‘I do’ and stars in what is one of the weddings of the year.
A love story that And Now Sonsoles has always been aware of, even when the first rumors of their romance emerged. There was always a great connection!
Both wanted to celebrate an intimate wedding, without many guests, but without wanting to leave anyone on the list, in the end it will be larger than planned and there have been around 500 guests, including the Royal Family.
José Luis Martínez-Almedia and Teresa Urquijo: what we know about their love story
The Las Ventas bullring gave us, for the San Isidro festivities, an image that brought the news to light.
In the event last June 2023, José Luis Martínez-Almeida and Teresa Urquijo went to a bullring together and could be seen very much in love.
That same month, despite the fact that they had been together for several months, the 26-year-old woman spoke about their relationship, stating that she was happy and very much in love.
This is the first girlfriend we know of Almeida since he became mayor of Madrid. In this way he was left without the title of golden bachelor of our country’s politics.
Who is Teresa Urquijo y Moreno, Almeida’s partner?
Since we saw Martínez-Almeida in the Las Ventas bullring with Teresa Urquijo, the expectation to know who is the woman who has stolen his heart has only increased.
She is a young woman from Madrid, 26 years old, and a real estate analyst. Her mother is Beatriz Moreno y Borbón, first cousin of King Emeritus Juan Carlos I.
As if that were not enough, his relationship with the Royal Family goes further because his brother Juan Urquijo was related to Victoria Federica.
What differences are there between the couple?
Love triumphs between them! However, as in all relationships, there are things that are shared and tastes that differ.
First of all, one of the things that surprised the most is the age that separates them. The mayor of Madrid is 22 years older than her, so it is a very different generation.
Is this the reason why Lorena Vázquez, collaborator of And Ahora Sonsoles, does not bet 100% on this relationship that has just passed through the altar? She has a scientific theory!
One of the points that is also somewhat conflicting is the topic of football. José Luis Martínez-Almedia has confessed to being a fan of Atlético de Madrid and Teresa Urquijo is a Real Madrid fan.
Lastly, Teresa loves horseback riding and has an incredible handle on the flamenco skirt, something Almeida will have to learn if she wants to impress her.
The gifts that the bride and groom receive for their wedding
According to the Vanitatis portal, the wedding list is valued at more than 85,000 euros, although the list of items is so large that there is room for all budgets.
One of the things that has attracted the most attention is a set of dishes from the Cartuja de Sevilla valued at more than a thousand euros or an American refrigerator worth more than 2,000 euros.
Where will they enjoy all the gifts? According to Isabel González, a collaborator of this program, the mayor of Madrid’s apartment is unrenovated and she is currently living at her parents’ house.
The details of the ceremony of José Luis Martínez-Almeida and Teresa Urquijo
The big day is scheduled to begin at 12 noon. The San Francisco de Borja Parish, located in the Salamanca neighborhood of Madrid, will host a ceremony where, without a doubt, emotions will be on the surface.
After the ceremony and photos, the couple, along with their guests, will go to the El Canto de la Cruz farm to celebrate an unforgettable treat. A catering that has recipes such as mushroom and parmesan cheese risotto, salmon pie or lobster salad.
What happens to the bride’s dress? As this program has learned, Teresa Urquijo will walk down the aisle wearing the dress that her grandmother wore on her wedding day and that her mother later wore. A tradition!
The secrets of José Luis Martínez-Almeida’s suit
We have sneaked into the mayor of Madrid’s tailor shop to find out how he is going to be dressed. Almeida will wear a hand-made morning suit with a detail chosen by him.
Joaquín Fernández Prats has been the tailor in charge of his clothing: “He has put his stamps in his morning coat.”
“He will leave for the Church from his house on Orense Street,” our collaborator Isabel González commented live.
