The couple announced their marriage on Tuesday, August 11, via a joint Instagram post. Their ceremony, conducted in the living room of their Cascais, Portugal mansion, was a far cry from the expectations of a grand event. In an interview with Vogue, Rodriguez discussed her shift in perception regarding weddings, despite having childhood fantasies of a grand celebration. \"As a little girl, I envisioned the grandest castle, the most magnificent carriage, the longest gown and a crown adorned with diamonds,\" she said. \"Now, I find myself saying: no.

Rodriguez expressed her hope that their children would remember the beautiful event at their family table in 30 years.",
