The anticipation surrounding the attendance of Clara Chía was high

Piqué and Clara Chía were captured, leaving the church in good spirits, as both appeared to be very pleased. Clara’s presence at the event was doubly justified because she is Gerard’s girlfriend and has a close friendship with María Valls.

It is reported that Clara and María belong to the same elite circle in Barcelona, share similar interests, and have mutual acquaintances. They also follow similar routines, spending summers in Calella de Palafrugell and the colder months in La Cerdanya.

The rest of the guests also adhered to the dress code specifications, which required men to wear dark suits and ties, while women were encouraged to wear colorful summery dresses and comfortable footwear.
