Ronaldo's Reaction Goes Viral After Fans Gatecrash Wrong Couple's Wedding
Many people love watching the famous football player Cristiano Ronaldo.
He has a girlfriend named Georgina Rodriguez, and they have been engaged since last year.
A rumour spread that Ronaldo and Georgina were going to get married in Madeira, Portugal.
Because of that, about 2,000 fans showed up at Funchal Cathedral hoping to see them.
But the rumour was wrong.
The wedding that day belonged to another couple, Fabio and Fatima, and the bride had to push through the crowd to get inside.
The church said there was no secret Ronaldo wedding at all.
Ronaldo later saw the funny mix-up online and laughed about it.
Fabio and Fatima's guests said they felt like celebrities.
The mix-up made the couple's wedding famous all over the internet.
Around 2,000 Cristiano Ronaldo fans gathered outside Funchal Cathedral in Madeira, Portugal, after rumours spread that Ronaldo was marrying Georgina Rodriguez there.
The wedding was actually for Madeira-born couple Fabio Ramos and Fatima Nicole Cunha Teixeira, who currently live in France.
The bride had to push through the crowd, while the couple's friends and family struggled to enter the church for the ceremony.
Priest Marcos Goncalves clarified that no secret Ronaldo wedding was scheduled, and Sé Cathedral confirmed the mix-up on its official Facebook page.
Ronaldo responded with laughing-crying emojis, while speculation was fuelled by his sister Katia Aveiro's 'party' post about her arrival in Madeira.
