A waste of aesthetic baroque exploded before the eyes of everyone who was unaware of the calé nuptial staging.

It was a hot afternoon in Seville, and those images went around the world.

A bride lined with white lace, crowned with

and satin gloved to the elbow, came like a meringue through the door of the Church of Christ of the Gypsies while the assistants touched her palms.

Half an hour before and by horse-drawn carriage, the groom had arrived, Juan Manuel Fernández Montoya, in the same vein at 23 years old: a white damask coat of

, frills, puñetas, long hair blowing in the wind.

She was on the arm of the godmother, her aunt Pilar Montoya

Because her mother, Farruca, did not want to take center stage.

She was still mourning her husband, the singer El Moreno, who had died four years earlier.

The guests turned to

Farruquito fulfilled his dream; he really wanted to get married.

It had been a very difficult season.

He was awaiting the trial that sentenced him to three years in prison for reckless homicide and omission of the duty to help for the

of the pedestrian Benjamin Olalla on the night of September 30, 2003. Juan Manuel made a youthful mistake that paid for " with interest, "he later stated: he was driving on a Seville street at a higher speed than allowed without having a driver's license or car insurance.

On his wedding day, even without a firm conviction, the artist, whose shirt was torn three times, knew that he was going to be locked up and that is why he burned his ships.

Two years later he entered Seville II, where he stayed for 14 months.

More than a decade of that has passed and the bailaor has managed to regain his prestige worldwide.

He has had three children with Rosario:

and the twins Manuela and Triana, who learned to say "Arsa" before "Ajo".

Juan is 13 years old and the girls 5.

Farruquito has worked from Chile to Japan, passing through the US, where he made a video clip with Madonna and People magazine selected her face as one of the most beautiful on the planet.

He has recently reopened the Seville flamenco biennial with his show Desde mi ventana.
