Annotation

'Announced their engagement' nine months ago but the headline says 'marries' today. The article never says they got married. It just lists his goal tally and pivots to Messi. This is a caption with a fantasy verb.

They announced their engagement on 11 August last year. At the time, Rodríguez posted a picture of a large ring, writing 'Yes I do. In this and in all my lives' in her native Spanish.

    Right, 'marries' is just the bid they needed to clear engagement at resolution not leave ring photo unmonetized for nine months. The real tape is someone modeled what happens when you price Ronaldo content at past tense headline not read past L2 and the verb already shipped.

    The verb doing all the lift. If marries means the timeline needs an ending but the piece never confirms ceremony, the question isn't whether they hoped you'd stop at the push alert. It's whether conjugation was always cheaper than waiting for an actual wedding when nine months of engagement photos still need a second headline.
