It has only been two years since the first wedding of Ivan Rakitic and Raquel Mauri, where they promised eternal love in the city of Sevilla in a civil ceremony officiated by Juan Ignacio Zoido. However, the player and his wife will be returning to Sevilla this summer to say “I do” in the eyes of God. They are preparing a romantic church wedding.
Much has changed in the lives of the couple since last summer, when FC Barcelona announced the signing of the Croatian, leading the family to leave the city of Sevilla - where Raquel’s family lives, where they fell in love, and where his first daughter, Althea, was born - to settle in Barcelona.
The bride already seems to have some very clear ideas: “From the first moment, I fell in love with the dress I’m going to wear, and my idea has not changed… It’s a secret, but what I have is a unique mix” said Raquel.
Without revealing many details about the big day, Ivan and Raquel say they are very excited and eager to repeat the experience of the wedding, but this time, on the altar, and in the presence of their daughter - a little girl who has become the joy of both parents, and has made the 27 year old Croatian-Swiss footballer a doting father who smiles proudly at his life, both personally and professionally.
