A newlywed couple is facing criticism after they posed nude with their groomsmen and bridesmaids at their wedding.
Brazilian influencer Luiza Marcato and her husband, Máximo García, who is from Spain, were officially married earlier this month before a pastor at the wedding registry office in São Paulo, Brazil.
After exchanging vows and trading rings, the couple held a different ceremony at García’s home attended by members of the adult film industry and models.
There, the couple, who are adult content producers, hosted a dinner and nude party.

The couple faced criticism after photos from their nude wedding party surfaced online. García’s two groomsmen can be seen in their underwear standing in the background surrounded by three naked bridesmaids.
The couple chose not to have a church wedding because it did not align with their beliefs.
“It’s our lifestyle, there’s no need to have a traditional ceremony in a church or anything like that,” García told the Brazilian online news portal G1.
“It’s not our reality. We met in this adult environment; it’s our world.”
Marcato, who invited 15 female friends to García’s bachelor party in Rio de Janeiro in May, indicated that they decided to hold an intimate wedding celebration with people they considered “really close to us.”
“We are not jealous, we love each other, and we are liberal,” she said. “We are in the best phase, happy and together.”
García said their choice of celebration was not intended to insult tradition despite the criticism they’ve received.
“We had the wedding our way. We met in porn, our friends are from porn, we live in that world. Why would it be different?” he said.
“It’s not disrespect for the ritual itself. On the contrary: it is respect for our essence, for who we really are. Happiness bothers people, right?”
García says they are ignoring the negativity and laughing all the way to the bank.
“To be honest, I don’t even see the comments and criticisms anymore. I’m much more than what people say. It may seem like arrogance, but I don’t care what people think of me anymore,” he said.
“While they criticize, I earn $55,000 per month. I now have a wonderful wife, a real relationship, without lies and secrets, our way, and I am building my life and my wealth.”
