Coast plays host to Miss Nicaragua Thelma
Rodriguez
By Sacha Strebe, Goldcoast.com.au
GOLD COAST, Australia - She blended in with
the pretty faces when CC spotted her on the
Gold Coast, but in her home town Thelma
Rodriguez sparks paparazzi pandemonium as
2008 Miss Universe Nicaragua.
So much so that when she recently wed local
celebrity bodyguard Mark Williams in Leon,
Nicaragua, the media scrambled to get the
scoop.
From full-page articles in newspapers to
television and radio excerpts on the
couple's nuptials, Williams says it was
'strange' to be the one in the spotlight.
"The amount of media attention was the funny
thing, even I was getting recognized in the
street which is strange for me,'' he says.
"But back home in Nicaragua, Thelma is one
of the more popular pageant entrants.''
It seems like a fairytale ending for the
pair who spent six months emailing each
other via Google translate.
And Thelma looked every bit the princess on
her big day in a full-length gown with a
train that rivaled Princess Diana's at a
length of 20 metres.
The pair were spotted last week at Marina
Mirage during a short break on the Coast,
before heading back to Central America.
