Just two weeks ago, Rute Cardoso, the wife of Diogo Jota, shone in a white wedding dress on one of the most beautiful days of her life. At the side of the Liverpool footballer, surrounded by her closest family and friends, she crowned her long-standing love with a sweet and simple ceremony in their hometown, the quiet town of Gondomar, Portugal.
Today, in the same place, in the same environment where they had promised eternal love, Rute stood again dressed in white, but this time, not to celebrate, but to say goodbye to her husband and his brother, Andre Silva, who lost their lives in a tragic road accident, writes Gazeta Express.
The symbolism of her dress: Love of eternity.
The merciless contrast between the two extremes of life, joy and sorrow, was embodied in her figure: a young woman, mother and now widow, who just a few days ago was sharing happiness with the world, while today she was trying to find the strength to cope with this pain.
The images from the funeral ceremony are heartbreaking: Rute, with tearful eyes and a symbolic white dress, bids farewell for the last time to the man with whom she shared every dream, and who was brutally taken from her life.
