TORRENTIAL rain looks set to put a dampener on Jose Mourinho’s daughter’s wedding in Portugal tomorrow.
Matilde Mourinho and her fiancee Danny Graham are set to tie the knot tomorrow at a family farm in Azeitao near the Fenerbahce football manager's native city of Setubal with 300 guests expected to attend.
The 28-year-old stunning jewellery designer admitted ahead of the ceremony she was hoping for good weather, saying: “Obviously, I don’t want it to rain.”
But her wish for her big day looks set to come unhinged 24 hours before she says: ‘I do.’
Weathermen are predicting heavy rain and possibly thunderstorms for tomorrow.
A yellow weather warning is currently in place for Setubal and the surrounding area.

On the positive side the sun is expected to shine on the happy couple for the post-ceremony second day of their weekend celebrations at a country estate in Azeitao called the Herdade do Peru.
London-based Matilde, who has been dating her partner since 2016, spoke about her hope the rain would stay away on podcast ‘By Annabelle.’
She added: “I am so happy at the idea of having all my friends and family together to celebrate in the same place.
“It’s non-negotiable that my friends and family are there.

“The day can be as perfect as you dream it can be, but if the people who you would want to share it with are not there, then it’s not worth it.”
Tomorrow’s event has been dubbed the wedding of the year by Portuguese press.
As well as the official ceremony at the Mourinho family’s POUNDS two million home in Azeitao and Sunday’s post-wedding get-together at Herdade do Peru, a pre-wedding dinner for around 80 guests has also been organised for tonight at the pretty town's Jose Mario da Fonseca Museum House.
An official guest list has not been revealed ahead of the wedding.
Graham is not to be confused with former Swansea City star Danny Graham.
Matilde's partner is a director and co-founder of a property consultancy company called "Agace and Graham".
She has also found her own success away from football despite the fame of her father.
She graduated with a Master's degree from Condé Nast College of Fashion and Design in 2021.
Portuguese TV station CMTV reported earlier this month the Mourinho home in Azeitao is one of several properties he is said to own in Portugal.
It had undergone major refurbishments ahead of the wedding so the ceremony could be staged there.
The former Manchester United and Chelsea manager has previously spoken about becoming a grandparent.
He admitted that he would add to his trophy tattoos with one to celebrate the birth of a grandchild.
He said: "This one I promised everyone.

"The idea was to get a unique tattoo that only I could have: the three European cups won.
"The next one I might get if my son or daughter had a baby girl or boy; it would be a special gift, and a tattoo could be a nice way to celebrate it."
