In Madrid, it's the most glamorous wedding of the year. Politicians, former politicians, and royals gathered for the wedding of Mayor José Luis Martinez-Almeida and his fiancée Tereza Urquijo. The church of San Francisco Borja, in the Salamanca district, also saw the presence of the emeritus king Juan Carlos with his daughters, Cristina and Elena, and his grandchildren Juan Valentin, Victoria Federica, and Felipe Juan. The emeritus queen Sofia, on the other hand, left to go directly to the reception at Finca El Canto de la Cruz, owned by the bride's family.
The Royals (and the Looks)
Tereza Urquijo wore a high-necked, long-sleeved lace dress, her hair tied back, and a veil with an extra-long train, a typically Spanish custom. It was the same dress (albeit revisited), worn by her mother Beatriz Moreno de Borbón-Dos Sicilias for her wedding in 1995, and also by her grandmother Teresa in 1961.
The guests numbered 500 and the banquet cost 90,000 euros. The royals were present because they are directly related to the bride, whose grandmother was a Bourbon, cousin of Juan Carlos. Juan Carlos's granddaughter Victoria Federica is also a friend of the bride's brother. José Luis Martínez-Almeida Navasqüés has been the mayor of Madrid since 2019 with the Popular Party, often abbreviated as PP, the main center-right/right Spanish party.
The looks, however, were quite sober, as befits an afternoon wedding in the city. Victoria Federica, 24, chose a mix & match of patterns between a dress in shades of brown and a bag. But the most stylish was her aunt, Infanta Cristina, with a blouse and "wide" pants almost straight out of a "rich mom" tutorial.
