There are only a few days left for José Luis Martínez-Almeida and Teresa Urquijo to walk down the aisle to say ‘I do’ in a wedding of which new details are emerging every time. One of the most anticipated links of the year, since it represents a new union between the world of politics and that of the aristocracy that will bring together high-level guests.
To warm up the machinery, the couple had their respective farewells two months ago. While she headed to Milan surrounded by friends, he spent a few days surrounded by friends and homemade food in Galicia. Two different ways to celebrate what is to come this Saturday in Madrid.
A wedding will begin next April 6 at 12:00 p.m. that will undoubtedly attract everyone’s attention this weekend. Everything will begin with a religious ceremony in the Parish of the Sacred Heart and San Francisco de Borja, also called the Jesuits of Serrano church. A neo-baroque temple located in the Salamanca neighborhood, which connects with the well-known Golden Mile and has a capacity for 340 people.
This choice comes at the express wish of Almeida, who wanted to get married in the same church as her deceased parents. Even so, it is likely that they did not have it easy because he has a waiting list of almost a year to be able to celebrate a wedding in this same place.
And as soon as the couple becomes husband and wife, everyone will have to travel several kilometers to end up at the El Canto de la Cruz farm, in Colmenar Viejo, where the reception will take place.
There you will not only enjoy a good meal, but you will also experience the after-party, where it is likely that more than one of you will end up with a tie on your head. A very thoughtful choice also taking into account that it is one of the properties of Teresa Urquijo’s maternal grandparents. A place that she used to breed Arabian horses.
On the other hand, catering could be around 150 euros per person, as specified on the website of the restaurant that will take care of everything. Although people in the area have assured OKdiario that the price could be 175 euros per head. An establishment called Lhardy that has been playing with haute cuisine since 1839. A meal that will take place on the main terrace of the property, which will be decorated for the occasion.
The banquet will consist of a cocktail of six varieties that have not been revealed exactly. However, the complete menu has 31 skewers, among which are croquettes, cheek samosas with yogurt and mint cream, hake cococha in green sauce or clam in its shell. After this, they will move on to the first and second courses, in which they could taste everything from consommé to sirloin, according to Vanitatis.
To end the day, the end of the party will feature a dinner with mini pizzas, hamburgers and cheeses, among other things. To this, there is an open bar for almost 10 hours. Everything to celebrate one of the weddings of the year in style.
