Singles like us wait every New Year’s Eve for the Puerta del Sol clock to strike 00:00 to ask for a passionate romance as a wish for the next year, dreaming of starring in a story similar to the ones that 2024 has left us in. the thing of love Many lovebirds say goodbye as husband and wife – we have missed an LGBTIQ+ wedding on the couché calendar -, starting with José Luis Martínez-Almeida and Teresa Urquijo. After years of publicly clamoring for a wife, the mayor of Madrid found his better half in February 2023 and shortly after asked her to marry him, a skillful and cunning way of not letting her escape. Less than a year later they were saying “I do” in the church of San Francisco de Borja, where the most VIP faces of high society gathered, including King Juan Carlos I, his daughters the Infantas Elena and Cristina and some of his grandchildren. In fact, it is said that those nuptials were the seed of the alleged relationship between Irene Urdangarin and Juan Urquijo, brother-in-law of the popular leader. From one wedding comes another, they say…
The Infantas have had to use a lot of ingenuity this year choosing outfits for all the weddings to which they have been invited, since they also attended those of Pedro Moreno de la Cova and Victoria López-Quesada, whom everyone will remember for another wedding , that of Don Felipe and Doña Letizia. She was the innocent girl who the unruly Felipe Juan Froilán kicked during the ceremony. By the way, His Majesty, godfather of the bride, accompanied his sister Doña Cristina to the wedding, giving public opinion an image of unity that had not been seen for a long time.

Princess Martha Louise of Norway married the shaman – yes, you read correctly – Durek Verret in September, but in 2022 a kind of Megxit took place and the daughter of Kings Harald and Sonia resigned from her royal duties. Something more elevated was the wedding of Hugh Grosvenor and Olivia Henson. He is Duke of Westminster, one of the richest men in the United Kingdom, godfather of Princes George and Archie – children of Prince William and Kate Middleton – and until recently one of the most eligible bachelors in Great Britain. The one that did border on the status of a royal wedding was that of Matthew Kumar and Theodora of Greece. They were finally united in marriage last October in the Cathedral of the Annunciation of Saint Mary, in Athens, where the best of the deposed Hellenic Crown traveled. The Infantas Elena and Cristina were also present – there are already 4 weddings – nor Queen Sofía, as well as Juan Valentín, Irene and Miguel Urdangarin. The one who did not attend any of her in-laws was Queen Letizia. This year we haven’t had the chance to see her dressed as a guest, and look, we came close! His second cousin, Víctor Elías, married the singer Ana Guerra not long ago, and the two played tricks on the presence of Their Majesties at the wedding until the last moment.

After three intense years of love, the model confirmed the news through a Instagram story. After this message, controversy broke out, when the true reason for their separation was discovered: the Sevillian had caught the rider with another woman, Valeri Cuéllar.

Marc Bartra and Jessica Goicoechea were also one of the most admired couples on the national scene. Their romance ended on good terms in the summer after 2 years of relationship and they get along very well today.
On the other side of the pond, love has not triumphed either. And if not, tell Jennifer López and Ben Affleck, the couple who restored our faith in second chances. Both artists met on a shoot in 2002 and the spark flew between them. In 2004 they separated and two decades later, fate brought them together again.
