On Saturday morning, Peruvian athlete Inés Melchor married Police Lieutenant Raúl Guzmán Rojas in an emotional ceremony held at the Cathedral of Huancayo.
Dozens of people gathered at Constitution Square to congratulate the newlywed couple, who appeared happier than ever and excited for this new stage in their married life.
Dressed in a dazzling white dress, Inés Melchor entered the cathedral on her father's arm and walked down the aisle to meet her now-husband. Well-known sports figures like Cecilia Tait were also present at the ceremony.
"I am happy because everyone is accompanying me on this special day, which is the beginning of the longest race of my life", said the athlete after leaving the Cathedral of Huancayo, her hometown.
It is worth noting that Inés Melchor did not participate in the Lima 2019 Pan American Games due to an injury. However, she plans to be present at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
