The Wedding Website of Belén Garrido Förster and Francisco Raed Di Bari

They say fútbol is the beautiful game, and we can attest to that. If it wasn't for fútbol, Fran wouldn't have reached out to Belén for the first time to complain about Real Madrid (allegedly) cheating. Belén and Fran then met for the first time to play fútbol, and instantly clicked. Belén may have scored more goals than Fran that day (allegedly), but Fran scored a golazo in her heart. They started dating on February 15th, 2020 (Fran was too nervous on Valentine's Day.) Since then there's been more games played, comics drawn, trips to Amato Gelato, special dinners in and out, swims at Sylvan Lake, loud family gatherings, and lots of growing together in love. After many years and experiences, the big day arrived at Quarry Lake, on November 14th, 2025. Fran proposed as the snow fell gently around them (and they froze.) Now we are looking forward to starting a life and family together. We can't wait to start off on the right foot: celebrating with our close family and friends.
