It's a Mexican telenovela produced by Televisa for Las Estrellas channel. I know the main story revolves around a soccer player/a soccer team, but don't know much more... Matias (the one getting married in the video) is a supporting character on the show and the other guy is supposed to be his ex-boyfriend who comes back to stop him from marrying.

 Here's the wedding

I don't know when the storyline starts, but it's likely that everything that's relevant is posted by Televisa on their channel.

Matias and Rene both showed up in yesterday's episode. Rene and Matias had dinner and got into a huge fight. My Spanish isn't that good, but I think it's because Matias is closeted and hiding his sexuality. Also, his marriage means he can't see Rene anymore. He then had a talk with Fabi (his wife). I think Fabi gave Matias permission to see Rene. She said it's obvious he loves him, they've been together two years.

ETA: After Matias' talk with Fabi, he then had an argument with his religious and homophobic mother. I really hope she didn't get into his head and that he's now afraid to continue with Rene, but I sadly wouldn't be surprised

I'm kinda impressed with this storyline. Just a few years ago a storyline like this would not have been possible, or at least it would have been very different. Fabi told Matias he should be with Rene if he makes him happy. She was even willing to give him a divorce! Literally EVERYONE told Matias to be with Rene. Thankfully he listened to them. He stood up for himself to his homophobic mom, and she accepted him! I'm just kinda confused about where it goes from here. IF this is the end, I'm fine with it. My Spanish is very limited, but it looked like one or both of them are moving (preferably together). I'm not sure the storyline can continue, like... the only way he's connected to the main family is through Fabi, and if he's not with Fabi anymore, then idk. Maybe it can continue if she ends up pregnant. But otherwise, this storyline might be over. I'm just kinda glad how everyone was so accepting in the end, even his wife told him to be with Rene. Just a few years ago you would have had Matias going through the motions, sleeping around (off screen) while being with his clueless wife, then the wife would have continued the charade even after finding out. Everyone around would have been homophobic. But now... the show portrayed being gay as something normal, something that should be accepted by everyone. In the end the only one that really had a problem with it was Matias himself (mostly because his mom had brainwashed him), but even he accepted his sexuality in the end, with support from him mom. The only thing missing from this storyline was PDA. At least they were able to hold hands, I guess that's something. I wasn't really expecting any PDA. Mexican telenovelas still have a way to go when it comes to the gay PDA stuff, but at least the stories are improving (and I mean improving A LOT). Gay characters are not just stereptypes anymore and the telenovelas are not portraying gay as something that is wrong or immoral anymore. The gays are not miserable all the time, it's different now. The telenovelas let the gay characters get happy endings, which wouldn't have been possible a couple of years ago. This is HUGE. This is progress, actually MASSIVE progress.
