He said he never really noticed the age difference when they were together. He accompanied her wherever she went, shared her life, and stood beside her through the ordinary days as well as the difficult ones.
Their relationship eventually reached one of its most important moments.
On March 18, 2005, Adrián and Delia got married.
By then, their relationship had already survived years of criticism, family tension, secrecy, and doubt.
Their wedding was more than a ceremony.
For them, it was a declaration.
They had been told that their relationship would not work.
They had been told that the age difference was too large.
They had faced people who wanted them apart.
Yet they were still standing together.
Marriage did not suddenly make the criticism disappear.
People continued to notice their age difference.
People continued to have opinions.
But Adrián and Delia had learned something important during those years.
They could not control what other people thought.
They could only control how they treated each other.
And they chose to keep building their life together.
Their shared love of art remained one of the strongest foundations of their marriage.
Delia continued painting.
Adrián continued writing.
Instead of keeping their creative lives separate, they began allowing them to overlap.
