Alba & Mateo on their wedding day
Young Alba and Mateo meet in 1960s Venezuela, at a dance contest where Alba performs and wins! They fall deeply in love and within 41 days of having met each other, Mateo proposes and Alba happily accepts. However, scandal abounds as Alba's sister Cecilia, who is also in love with Mateo[2], spreads gossip around town that Alba had sex before marriage. Mateo's parents oppose the marriage and, as a result, Alba and Mateo elope and marry, and Alba asks Mateo if they can move to the U.S. Though Mateo comes from money - Venezuelan oil - he gives it up to marry the love of his life. The happy newlyweds start a life for themselves in Miami and soon have a daughter – Xiomara. Mateo works very hard in his effort to support the family and sadly dies at only 43 years old, on 12 June 1989, leaving Alba a widow.
