Last Saturday, José Luis Martínez-Almeida and Teresa Urquijo celebrated their proposal party surrounded by family and friends; preamble to their future wedding, set for next April 6, which will be held at the El canto de la cruz farm, in Colmenar Viejo, property of the bride’s family.
A party that they analyzed at La Roca, where in addition to commenting on the details of the event, they took the opportunity to talk about the concept itself of marriage proposals or their own experiences. For example, that of Nuria Roca and Juan del Val, which they themselves were in charge of telling.
The collaborators began to explain that marriage proposals were an old tradition, but one that more and more couples are joining. Nuria Roca said that she considered them “a celebration,” but her husband had a very different opinion, as she argued that she saw it as “sexist.”
“That thing is also done, sorry, enormously sexist and retrograde. Suddenly, the boyfriend, who is an idiot, in this case, me. No, no! I’m not talking about Almeida, I’m talking about my proposal for my hand. “Could there be anything more funny?” the author of Bocabesada asked himself, before revealing that he also had a kind of marriage proposal.
“It’s true that Nuria gave me a beautiful watch,” confessed the talk show host. “I don’t think I’ve ever given a uglier gift in my life,” his wife replied, laughing.
However, when the collaborators wanted to know what the ring that the presenter had received for her request had been like, something that is essential in this type of event, the journalist surprised the viewers by revealing the reality: she didn’t have one.
“I expected a ring for that moment, and there wasn’t one,” the journalist said live, amusingly reproaching her husband for not having her requested jewel. Of course, as she admitted a few months ago in El Hormiguero, where they both also collaborate, she was the one who ended up keeping her husband’s watch. “There had to be some use for it,” she explained.
Despite their “disastrous” proposal, the couple married on October 6, 2000 in El Puig, in Valencia, the presenter’s homeland. A wedding in which no one was missing, as the couple gathered 300 guests.
More than two decades later, they have formed a spectacular family, with three children – Juan (21), Pau (16) and Olivia (12) – and two dogs that have given them absolute happiness.
