The couple wed on November 17 in the town of Limanes in northwestern Spain near Alonso's hometown of Oviedo, national radio and television said citing a report in regional newspaper La Nueva Espana.

Alonso and Rosario, who belongs to the band "El Sueno de Morfeo", reportedly met in June 2005 when the two took part in a radio programme in Madrid.

At the end of November Spanish media said the two, who are both 25, had married in the Maldives islands in the Indian Ocean but the reigning Formula One champion's agent denied the reports.
