Next, you can read , and finally watch on video, an interview that will make you laugh and cry from more than a TV talent, a woman who fought hard to be able to live her own fairy tale.
-Francisca congratulations we are already days away from the wedding.
Francisca: Yes to days, a little, little, little to go, excited, nervous because it is a great responsibility but also anxious and faith liz, because I’m going to close like that chapter, and give way to other blessings that I know that Diosito has for me.
-2 years old and a little more, you fulfill the dream of being able to get married in the Church with the love of your life.
Francisca: Yes, to get married now, finally, God understood that this was the perfect moment, this was supposed to have happened a long time ago, but well now the story of which we have all been victims, which is the pandemic who grabbed us, changed all the wedding plans, and we have done it in part, but finally with the religious wedding it will be completed. I say that we have done it in part because you know that we got married in December to prepare for our wedding, which was going to be in Italy and it didn’t happen, but now, the time has come to complete and I’m sure it’s going to be a special ceremony, I’m going to flow, whatever God wants to happen that day.
-Are you very nervous? what makes you nervous the most?
Francisca: What is normal for brides, like first of all it is a responsibility, because you are inviting people to go to another country, so you want like that they feel good, that everything is perfect, that nothing is missing, because they do say that the most important thing is the couple Francesco and I, in this case, but also for me and for us, above all For Francesco, that his family is well, that his friends are well, that’s something that kind of keeps us awake at night, but I think it’s normal. When the day comes, what we want is to flow and understand that everyone who is going to go loves us, and everyone who is going to make an effort, then I don’t think anything bad is going to come out, because the only reason is to be there celebrating our love, regardless of anything else that works out perfect for us.
-In addition to ‘Despierta América’, the happiest house on Hispanic television, will accompany you, and you will be part of them, and all of us in your wedding, because starting Monday we will find out little by little about everything.
Francisca: Of course, I used to come here: “And I’m going to tell you that from Monday in ‘Despierta América’…” and you already knew it (laughs)… Well yes, as of Monday we already began to reveal details of what the wedding would be, for me it is very important to communicate everything what’s happening with the people, because I’m here because of the love of the people, and I can never forget that, that’s what people always say, they love me from ‘Nuestra Belleza’, and it’s a very nice community, which has continued to grow, that continues to support me, for which I feel very grateful. I swear to you that if I had the opportunity to get married like this openly, in an Olympic stadium, where everyone who loves me could come, I would make him happy, what happens is that I I had to take about 2 more years to be able to plan it, and even then it wouldn’t be perfect. What better way to do it than in the same way that I enter people’s houses every day, through my house, ‘Despierta América’ also to share my happiness, my wedding, the moment, any type of stress, that if the dress, I want to share everything because it is my way of making my people feel that they were with me that day.
-What can you tell us in advance?
Francisca: I can tell you in advance that on Monday, in ‘Despierta América’, we already reveal the exact date of the wedding, the day, details, just like that so that from that moment they start sending me pure positive energy, many beautiful things , I am happy because I always say that I am like a kind of frustrated princess, there is a Cinderella that lives in me, so this is like the truth, it is like the fairy tale of the movie for me, so the emotion sometimes beats me.
-What is going to be the name of the segment that is going to be your wedding, all this coming week?
Francisca: It’s ‘The Wedding Diary’, so there they will be like little chapters of the things that are happening, what if the dress, what the decoration , little things like that so that people can see how or it’s not the week before the wedding.
– You talk about the story of the princess, your life has not been easy, you have been put to many tests, which you have overcome some more easily, others a little more complicated and this is like a cherry on the cake, if you look back at everything you’ve lived through and everything you’ve had to go through to get to this day, what do you feel?
Francisca: Oh my God… I feel everything, it feels like a lump in my throat, but not sadness, it’s a lot of thanks, a lot of thanks, I feel very proud, I feel very grateful to God, that really, no matter how dark those moments were, my way of believing and way of having faith, of seeing things with such certainty that did not exist at the time but that they were like that in my head, is what has brought me here, so I feel extremely blessed because God has given me more than that I imagined, I feel that everything I lived has been worth it, that It was a good decision to come to this country when I had years old without knowing what was waiting for me, that selling pots on the streets of New York was also part of my learning, of what I needed to live to build the woman that I am now, that he is not wrong about anything, so my heart is full, that is, it comes out like this from all sides of gratitude, because there is nothing else. My life has changed in a way that if I think about it and I say: “My God, but you went too far, but keep going, because I like it, keep going” (laughs).
-will there be someone who was not invited 2 years ago and whose name is Gennaro, your son?
Francisca Méndez: Oh tell me if it’s not the most special and the most beautiful thing!… I don’t even know how I’m going to react that day when I see him, not to walk because we were like that praying that he would walk, because he stops and he he’s super strong, thank God, but when I see him, what do I know at that moment… He is the proof of our greatest love, and generally children, parents tell me, that they complain about that “and where was I?” when they see the photos, they ask their parents, and Genaro will say: “Oh, I was there, you kind of missed a step or they went ahead”… It is very special for us, because it is in front of our families and our friends, there with name and surname with little face and a lot of hair is the proof of our love, so that is what makes that day of in itself it was already a dream, which in itself was special, unique and unforgettable.
-Let’s imagine that you are in the a Altar dressed as a bride, what does that Francisca say at the altar, with her love next to her, with her other love, her son on the other side, to Francisca who was selling pots?
Francisca: Oh… I would say, “we made it”; she would tell him, “you did very well, I am very proud of you and happiness did exist for us” , that is what she would tell him.
