Rafael Nadal might have been forced to pull out of Wimbledon due to an abdominal injury, but the tennis star still has every reason to celebrate since he is set to become a father for the first time. The 36-year-old sportsman announced that his wife Mery Perello is expecting a baby during a press conference last month.
The 22-time Grand Slam champion married his long-term girlfriend Mery, 34, in a beautiful ceremony on the Spanish island of Majorca on 19 October 2020. We’re taking a look back at their breathtaking wedding photos – and the happy couple looked so loved up on their big day. From Mery’s two stunning wedding dresses to the gorgeous clifftop location, the event was nothing short of a fairytale.
As well as a few sweet photos of the happy couple, sketches were released at the time detailing not one but two gorgeous looks for Mery.
Both were designed by Rosa Clara, who posted a black and white video of the designs on Instagram, stating: “An overwhelming wedding day for all of us! We feel incredibly proud for taking part in such an important day – Mery Perelló and Rafa Nadal’s wedding. We would like to congratulate the gorgeous and unique couple, we wish you the best forever!”
The first was a very delicate, elegant look, with an intricate lace bodice, long sleeves and a belt that nips in at the waist before letting the fabric fall to the floor. In the caption, the designer described the dress as “an exquisitely clean-lined haute couture design.”
