The recent wedding of Alberto Herrera and Blanca Llandres, held last Saturday, October 18, at the Basílica de Nuestra Señora de la Caridad in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, has sparked considerable public interest. The couple, who became engaged last June during a romantic trip to Tuscany, exchanged vows surrounded by family and friends. The event drew the attention of numerous members of the press and local residents, who gathered to congratulate the newlyweds.
Back at work at Cope radio station, the son of renowned journalist Carlos Herrera dedicated part of his broadcast to expressing gratitude. He sincerely thanked everyone who showed interest in their celebration. Alberto noted that he did not expect such a level of attention and was deeply touched by the warmth and respect with which the media covered their wedding. He singled out an incredible gesture by one fan who traveled from Zaragoza just to see the couple in person. The journalist admitted that he would never be able to fully repay the love and support he received, both personally and through countless congratulatory messages.
However, alongside his words of gratitude, Herrera felt it necessary to clarify a delicate issue that had been widely discussed in the press. Three months after announcing their engagement, the couple revealed that they were expecting a child. This sparked rumors that the wedding had been a forced decision due to Blanca’s pregnancy. Wanting to put an end to the speculation, Alberto decided to share a personal story with the audience.
He stated directly that the sequence of events was actually the opposite. According to him, the pregnancy was a happy consequence of their decision to get married, not the reason for it. The journalist humorously recounted that after he proposed in Tuscany, he and Blanca decided it was time to ‘play without a goalkeeper.’ He also remarked, with irony, that conceiving a child is not always as simple and quick as it may seem, so they were overjoyed when they found out their first child was on the way.
To conclude his story, Alberto shared an amusing piece of advice once given to him by his father. Carlos Herrera jokingly warned his son to be careful, because ‘Herrera is Herrera,’ hinting at the family’s fertility. This lighthearted detail added sincerity to his monologue and finally dispelled all the gossip, leaving only warm feelings towards the young family among the listeners.
