The day after the marriage of his daughter Ángela Aguilar to Christian Nodal, the bride’s father, legendary ranchera singer Pepe Aguilar, publicly blessed the couple on Thursday (July 25) via Instagram.

Along with a series of photographs of the newlyweds with members of the Aguilar-Nodal family, the patriarch wrote an emotional message and fatherly advice. “Dear Ángela and Christian, whether you see it or not, today you begin a new and very different path to any you have walked before. One where respect and responsibility will be your strongest guide, Even as important as love!

“In any lasting relationship, love is essential and respect and responsibility totally indispensable,” he continued. “With love, you face the most complicated challenges inside and outside your environment. … I have also been in your shoes. And already in the past. And after 27 years with my wife I say to you: There is no simple principle.”

The photos show Angela and Nodal looking elegant and smiling, she in a vintage embroidered dress and he in an elegant off-white suit.

Held at a 16th-century Mexican colonial hacienda in Amacuzac, Morelos, a place full of history and about 90 minutes from Mexico City, the private ceremony was attended by famous friends such as Marc Anthony and his wife, Nadia Ferreira, who appear in one of the images shared by Pepe Aguilar.

In his message, the legendary artist also expressed that “there is no simple principle. But even if there are fears for such a transcendental decision and in their case, so public, even if they are young and in a learning stage in their lives, even if there could be a logical fear of the unknown for such a decision, etc., etc., etc. EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE.

“Just always remember that what is truly worthwhile, is never easy. But if there is true love, TRUE LOVE WITH CAPITAL LETTERS! Then EVERYTHING is worth it. And everything will always make sense. I wish from the bottom of my heart that your love is one of those. One of those worthwhile ones, one of those that make sense. Here’s to your happiness… and may you always take great care of your love with what I mentioned first. Responsibility and respect. Many, many congratulations.”

Later on Thursday, Nodal and Aguilar shared a joint Instagram post of wedding photos with the caption “24.7.24.”
