The unseen images of Irene Villa’s wedding

On Saturday morning the 21st, Irene and her boy got ready in the rooms of the Monastery, which also has a lodging area. In the image, the radiant bride poses next to her father before putting on her wedding dress.

More than 135 guests attended the celebration, including the bride’s relatives. In this snapshot, Irene poses with her sister, Virginia; his nieces; his children; and their parents.

David Serrato walked down the aisle arm in arm with his mother to the sound of ‘Love is in the air’ by John Paul Young. Meanwhile, Irene did it hand in hand with her father with the melody of ‘The Power of Love’ in the background, the Jennifer Rush classic that Céline Dion also covered.

Beatriz Robleda was in charge of officiating the ceremony. During this moment, the couple celebrated their love with the red thread ritual. A myth that says that those people who intertwine the ends of a red cord around their little fingers will be united forever.

Another of the most emotional moments of the wedding was during the exchange of wedding rings – from the Alconero jewelry store, in San Leonardo de Yagüe (Soria), the town where Irene saw the ‘coach’ for the first time. And the curious thing is that the rings did not need a page to carry them, only the help of a drone was enough.

The typical question that is asked to the couple to confirm that they want to marry each other this time was asked in a very original way. It was Irene’s second son who turned to David and said, “Do you want to marry the best mom in the world?” “Then David’s nephew asked me: ‘Irene, do you want to marry the coolest guy on the planet?'” the bride explained to us.

Former taxi driver Luis Alfonso Villa and civil servant María Jesús González met and danced together after more than four decades apart. “My father could not have been here, because he had very serious pancreatitis in December and was in the ICU… That’s why I was so happy,” Irene said.

Ángela Ruiz de Loizaga, the groom’s mother and godmother, accompanied her son to the altar. And once they were married, David’s sister dedicated them a song that she had composed expressly for the occasion, a Spanish adaptation of the classic ‘Hallelujah’, by Leonard Cohen.

“David broke down when he told me, ‘I love you deeply,'” at the ceremony, Irene explained. Furthermore, during his parade to the altar, the groom also shed some tears of emotion when he saw his future wife’s son with a sign that said: ‘David, here comes the love of our lives.’

One of the essential details for brides on their wedding day. In this case, Irene’s bouquet was made up of roses and anemones in white and pink tones.

Irene trusted designer Silvia Fernández for her wedding dress. The design was made of silk chiffon and had a draped bodice, as well as a large back opening that left her back exposed. She didn’t have a veil accompanying the look, but she did have a three-meter long chiffon cape that “made me feel like a total Disney princess. As if I were Frozen“, noted the journalist. On the other hand, among the jewelry, the pearl earrings, from Majorica, and the jewel barrettes that adorned her hair, from Charo López Atelier, stand out.

“I ordered some shoes with rubber soles so I wouldn’t get tired. I ended up with no pain or anything. I was dancing all afternoon and into the night, like a crazy person. I wanted to be the last one to leave,” explained the adaptive ski athlete.

The couple chose the Monastery of Santa María de La Vid because “it is like something out of a movie… First, that it is almost in Soria, David’s land. Then, that the monastery was called La Vid, which was how my youngest son called David the first months, because he was five years old and it was difficult for him to vocalize,” said the bride.

Neither the adverse weather conditions nor anyone managed to ruin the work of the wedding planner and interior designer Gloria Duque. As an exception due to rain, the ceremony was held in the cloister of the religious temple, instead of in the garden – as planned.

Once married, the happy couple and their guests enjoyed a long cocktail by Virrey Palafox inside the cloister where there was fusion cuisine, but there was no shortage of traditional serrano ham, croquettes, or cheese. Not even the classic torreznos from Soria.

The party began around six in the afternoon with the music group Conectados, who was in charge of covering many great songs from yesterday and today. Irene got excited at the dance with the song ‘I was waiting for you’ by Carlos Rivera, “because I was waiting for David.”

One of the most emotional and intimate moments of the day was when Irene’s father and godfather shared how he experienced the terrorist attack that his daughter suffered, that terrible October 17, 1991. “After the attack, I was in an induced coma and the doctors They told how I was doing. My father told them: ‘Leave her in eternal peace, where she doesn’t have to suffer everything that awaits her,'” the bride recalled.
