Isabel married Alberto on 4 October 2014 in Barcelona. They met seven years earlier in Puigcerda, a village in the Pyrenees, where they both used to go on their family holidays. This was also the location where Alberto proposed to Isabel in October 2013. The wedding ceremony took place at Antoni Gaudí's famous Colegio Teresiano and the reception was in Isabel’s family cellar, Raventós I Blanc, located in Sant Sadurní d’Anoia. The reception décor was rustic; the room filled with candles.

I walked down the aisle with my father, to Pachelbel's Canon in D. It was very emotional and a moment that I'll never forget.
I never doubted that I was going to get married in my family's cellar - this was very important for me.
We decorated according to the season, and filled the place with candles. Even though we had 400 guests, it still felt really cosy and intimate.
