Kerala to Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez: How about a honeymoon in God's Own Country?

Kerala Tourism has reached out to Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez with an unconventional proposal: consider choosing the state as your honeymoon destination. The social-media post, addressed to the couple, read: "Dear Cristiano & Georgina, how about choosing Kerala as your honeymoon destination?" The pitch comes as the high-profile couple faces global attention following their recent wedding.

Known for its misty Munnar hills, backwaters, houseboats, and beaches, Kerala is often referred to as "God’s Own Country." Ronaldo and Rodríguez met in 2016, and their relationship has since become a focal point of celebrity culture. Ronaldo proposed nearly a decade into their relationship, and Georgina announced the engagement with a photo of a diamond ring.

Kerala Tourism’s message is a simple congratulations, with an invitation to consider the state as a honeymoon destination. The visual pitch includes suggestions such as Georgina exploring Munnar’s tea gardens, Ronaldo on an Alleppey houseboat, and a sunset dinner by the Arabian Sea. This invitation is not merely a friendly gesture but also an opportunity to tap into Kerala’s passionate football culture.

The state, which has a long-standing affinity for football, recently made headlines with a viral AI wedding featuring the Messi, Neymar, and Ronaldo cut-outs that went global. By inviting Ronaldo and Georgina to celebrate their honeymoon in Kerala, the tourism board is essentially inviting one of the state’s favorite football sons home – this time with his bride.
