Lola and Haime's Wedding: Met Coaching Basketball, Married in Front of 300 Guests in Madrid

Lola García-Romeu and Haime Velasco married on April 18, 2026 in Madrid, at the Finca Los Cuadros farm, in front of over 300 guests. Just a few years earlier they had met while coaching a basketball team together at a Madrid school. Covid lockdown turned the acquaintance into a relationship. The wedding turned them into spouses.

The bride wore a custom gown by Sofia Delgado - inspired by the Meryl Streep musical film, with a graceful silhouette and extraordinary delicacy in the details. On her ears: earrings inherited from grandmother and mother, a tradition passed through generations. The groom had cufflinks from his maternal grandfather and several personal items dedicated to his father, who passed away three years earlier. Quiet presences of those who are missing.

The ceremony was civil, with active family participation that guests describe as deeply personal and moving. Afterwards, the menu: cream of mushroom soup, beef short ribs in wine with glazed mushrooms and potatoes, and Arabic cake. La Repera Music welcomed the guests, then DJ Havi Mendez led the night to its end.

The moment of the evening everyone talks about: the bride and her mother performed a surprise choreographed dance together. A personal and unexpected number, planned in secret. Such moments cannot be bought with a wedding budget - only with the relationship. A beautiful beginning.
