The official wedding photographs from Rafael Nadal and Maria Francisca Perello’s wedding have been released – and they are dreamier than we had ever imagined.

The wedding took place at the 17th-century fortress known as La Fortaleza. Boasting beautiful sea views and steeped in history, it served as both the ceremony and reception venue.

  1. Such a beautiful couple. It is so wonderful to see such simple beautiful elegance in the dress and Rafa’ s wedding suit so fine too.
    The smiles from the heart tells it all.
    You two represent success from hard work and quality in all you do in life.
    Enjoy!

  2. My word Rafa what a lovely couple you make. May you have a happy and wonderful life together!

    Love to you both

  3. Just seen one of these on the ATP Facebook site 🙂 . What a beautiful location. I love the grey morning coat – so much nicer than an ordinary suit jacket!

  4. These are beautiful photos! Just amazing! What a magical day! They both look so very happy and full of joy!
    As a huge Rafa fan (and Maria and the entire family), who has watched Rafa grow up over the years playing tennis, I am in tears looking at these two beautiful people (on the inside and out) who are starting their new life together! These pictures are magical! This is what true love looks like! Such elegance and class!
    I love Maria’s elegant wedding gown and choice of flowers! She looks stunning!
    I am overwhelmed with joy for them and their families!
    Congratulations and wishing the lovely couple many years of much love and happiness together! XOXOXO

    Cheers to the new Mr. & Mrs. Rafael Nadal!

    Thank you for sharing the beautiful photos!

  5. These photos were worth waiting for. The press were wrong about his suit colour but the gray was a classic choice.
    Maria Francisca is a true beauty. According to people who have seen her the camera doesn’t do her justice. She is absolutely breathtaking in person.
    So happy for them that they had perfect weather for their special day.

    • Hi RR,

      You are absolutely right about the wait and Maria, beautiful pictures of the lovely couple.

      I remember I had a “bonus” in Paris the Monday after I watched Rafa lifted his 10th French Open. I visited the museum and decided to walk back to the hotel to get some exercise. I am thrilled I did because I saw so many people gathering in front of the Nike store on my way back. As it turned out, Rafa was supposed to show up for promotion. I waited less than 10 minutes, Rafa came with his parents, Maria and some team members. It is very true, Maria is beautiful. Rafa and Maria are made for each other💞

      • What a lovely story Mimi. And weren’t you so lucky to see the Nadal family and team. I would be overjoyed if it happened to me. Thanks for sharing.

      • You are welcome RR, my pleasure.

        Yes, I was very lucky, what a nice surprise! Imagine people waited for a long time to see Rafa. If I knew, I would have done the same and skipped the museum.

        But my luckiest moment came during the Barcelona Open this year. I saw Rafa and his team in the hotel lobby waiting for a ride to practice the morning before his first match the next day. I could not believe my eyes……I asked Rafa for his autograph and even had a photo with him. Like the rest of the Rafa fans, I found out it was some of the toughest time during that period for Rafa but things have changed since, Rafa went through it and has had a great season, so thankful.

        Hope Rafa stays healthy and injured free so we can enjoy more of his greatness👍

    • Hello Ramara,

      Yes, I am so very happy for two amazing people! They are such a beautiful couple! So kind, caring and humble!

      I am like you, I can’t wait for them to start a family and have beautiful, precious little blessings! 🙂 🙂 🙂

      They will be raised so well, as Rafa has been! They will be such a blessing to the Nadal family!

      I pray I am still around to see them! 🙂 They are such a remarkable family! I love them all!

      Have a great day!

      Therese 🙂
