José Luis Martínez-Almeida and Teresa Urquijo are already husband and wife. The couple said ‘I do’ last Saturday, April 6, in a religious ceremony held in the Parish of the Sacred Heart and San Francisco de Borja, located in the Madrid neighborhood of Salamanca, and before about 600 guests, among whom Many members of the royal house were present.
And the wife of the mayor of Madrid is the granddaughter of Teresa de Borbón-Dos Sicilias y Borbón Parma, cousin of the emeritus king Juan Carlos I. Therefore, the couple decided to celebrate the wedding banquet at the idyllic El Canto de la Cruz estate, located in the Madrid municipality of Colmenar Viejo and about 45 minutes from the capital.
The celebration has been one of the most talked about topics both on social networks and in different media. But without a doubt the most striking thing about the wedding was the bride and groom’s wedding dance. The couple surprised all their guests with a chotis, a traditional dance of the region, instead of the classic waltz, thus paying their particular tribute to their hometown.
Almeida and Urquijo’s dance managed to go viral on social networks and provoked all kinds of comments with total disparity of opinions. One of the last personalities to speak out about the media dance was Carmen Lomana. The businesswoman visited the Las Mañanas KISS program this Tuesday, where she was totally against the popular dance.
”I am traumatized by that…How do they have the nerve to say that it is a chotis? It is an insult to the chotis, to Madrid and to all the chulapos,’ she began by saying. ”I think someone was teaching them. That teacher should retire for life because that was like a striding tango, poorly danced,’ she said.
Furthermore, the businesswoman said that as soon as she saw the video she thought that they were doing it in a “comedy plan.” ”I love the mayor very much, but life has not sent him to the dance,” she asserted. Finally, Lomana took advantage of the occasion to send a warning to the couple and their entourage: ”Anyone who has seen a chotis dance should have warned them ”please stop, don’t continue with this”’.
