The big day has arrived for Patricia Rato and Javier Moro. The couple, who have always remained discreet in this ten-year relationship, have become husband and wife. A finishing touch to a love story that started by chance. This Wednesday, September 7, at eight o’clock in the afternoon, they gave the expected ‘yes, I want’. Moment when they are accompanied by their children, godparents and, as is customary in these ceremonies, the witnesses. The pairing took place in a parish near the groom’s farm in Ciudad Real province.
Two key pieces in this union are: the godparents, who was on the bride’s side Luis Alberto Salazar-Simpson, a person with the greatest confidence of the bride and whom she greatly values. As for the gauge, it was Javier’s older sister, Mercedes Moro Peralta. At this very special moment in the couple’s life, the two most important witnesses were present. On the one hand Cristina Yanes and her husband, José Luis Santos Tejedor and Ángel García-Locarte, an intimate of Moro, along with his wife, Ana Gómez.
This party doesn’t stop there, because next Thursday, September 8, around noon, it will take place renewal of vows and thanksgiving for the rest of the attendees. It will be later when they continue to celebrate this happy news at a party attended by the couple’s family and close friends.

For this important day in her calendar in which eternal love with Javier Moro is promised, Patricia Rato has chosen a design by her friend Marta Rota from Tot-Hom and jewelry by Yanes.
When it came to light that Patricia Rato and Javier Moro were getting married, Rato confirmed to the magazine Hello! the happiness he felt in being able to take this big step in his life with one of the people he loves most. Previously, she was married to Juan Antonio Ruiz Espartaco for two decades. “My divorce has been very difficult, very long and very sad for everyone, as I suppose any divorce is, for everything that the breakup of a family entails,” he explained to the aforementioned publication.
Despite the fact that they have made the decision to continue on different paths, respect has been present in their relationship over all these years, they also maintain an excellent harmony with their children. Evidence of this is the times when they were able to coincide in an event, as happened in the celebration of his son’s coming of age. Patricia and Espartaco met in 1989 at a charity festival near Madrid. He was a bullfighter and at the end of the celebration Rato went to greet him. At that point, Juan Antonio asked her for the phone number and she gave him the number of the company where she worked. They did not lose touch and spoke and saw each other whenever they had the chance.
“We spent very little time together in those first three months, but our phone conversations were forever. He paid huge bills. Later on, early last year (1990) I invited her to the farm, with a male farrier, and she met my family and all my people,” Espartaco himself told the journalists. When they had taken the big step, Patricia left the family home in the Salamanca neighborhood and settled with her husband on the farm where her three children, Alejandra, Isabella and Juan, grew up. Second, Xavier Moroanother major protagonist in this story, has also been divorced for 25 years and has two children.
