Ronaldo And Georgina Have Yet To Reveal Their Wedding Date
Last year, Ronaldo got engaged to Georgina with a massive ring after the pair had been together for nearly a decade.
Many expected the engagement to be followed swiftly by marriage, but that has not happened in the months since, with the couple keeping any wedding plans they might have under wraps.
Some reports have claimed that the wedding could take place after the World Cup, as the footballer may not want any distractions while trying to help Portugal emerge victorious at the tournament.
It has also been rumored that Ronaldo and Georgina could choose his birthplace, Madeira, as the location for their nuptials.
That plan would reportedly include a ceremony at Funchal Cathedral and a reception at a luxury hotel in the city, possibly even at the player’s own Pestana CR7 Funchal.
