Twenty-five years of shared headlines, a joint mortgage, and a quarter-century of partnership culminated on Friday, Oct. 30, when Spanish journalist and television presenter Nuria Marín married screenwriter Juanlu de Paolis in an intimate civil ceremony in Barcelona, 20minutos.es reported.
A Low-Key Barcelona Signing With High-Fashion Details
The couple bypassed traditional banquet halls and grand guest lists in favor of a quiet midday signing at a notary office overlooking the Catalan capital, as detailed by hola.com. Marín had previously admitted that while she once dreamed of a massive spectacle complete with acrobatic performers, her husband’s preference for discretion ultimately prevailed. The pair, who met during their university days studying Journalism and Audiovisual Communication, have lived together since they were 23 years old. The ultimate push toward the altar came simply from buying an apartment together, proving that few milestones cement a relationship quite like real estate debt.

For her wedding day attire, Marín debuted a two-piece white ensemble featuring a tailored tweed-style jacket and a midi pleated skirt with floral lace trim. As noted by semana.es, the design bore a striking resemblance to the Self-Portrait outfit worn by Catherine, Princess of Wales, during the Order of the Garter ceremony at Windsor Castle. Marín completed the look with an unexpected footwear choice: black Jimmy Choo slingback pumps adorned with delicate white pearls, sparking an instant online debate among her followers.
From Hello Kitty Pens to Pizza Nights at Home
True to her self-deprecating humor, Marín signed the official registry using a Hello Kitty pen, telling her social media audience that tying the knot does not mean abandoning the mindset of a 12-year-old. She also accessorized with a family heirloom ring gifted by de Paolis, humorously comparing the moment to celebrity engagement photo-ops, alongside a clover-shaped earring borrowed from her mother as a nod to tradition.
Following the paperwork, the newlyweds gathered with a very small circle of relatives and close friends for a casual lunch to toast the occasion. Eschewing any extended evening festivities, the bride was already back home by 6:00 p.m., 20minutos.es reported. The evening concluded without fanfare, marked instead by a relaxed dinner of takeout pizza and a horror movie.
Style Secrets and Traditional Touches
The television presenter sourced her unique two-piece garment from the Barcelona boutique Santa Eulalia, which supplied a creation arriving in lighter, less beige tones adorned with buttons and featuring transparency at the hem akin to the royal look from June 2025. Addressing her choice of footwear on social media, Marín noted, Hay mucha gente diciéndome que en qué momento se me ocurre casarme con zapatos de color negro. Se ha abierto un debate y estoy flipando
. The bride also playfully addressed her compliance with age-old wedding customs, disclosing that her something blue consisted of her underwear alongside a joke about their shared mortgage, while the borrowed item was her mother’s clover earring. She completed her bridal styling with a manicure in light pink tones matching her preserved cream-colored flower bouquet. Reflecting on the milestone after more than two decades together, Marín noted that the long-term relationship had already made them feel married before officially signing the documents in front of a reduced number of guests.
