It is now officially Mr and Mrs Messi as football star Lionel Messi says "I Do" to childhood heartthrob, Antonella Roccuzzo on Friday, June 30.
The wedding took place in Argentine, at Messi's hometown Rosario where his colleagues, celebrities and friends gathered to celebrate the occasion described as "the wedding of the century."
Following the private ceremony hosted at a hotel and casino complex, the couple walked a red carpet for a photo shoot before hundreds of journalists.
Messi and Roccuzzo already have two kids - Thiago (4yrs), and Mateo (1yr) who were had front seats at the ceremony.
Venue of the wedding is at the City Center Casino, close to a crime-ridden slum run by drug gangs. Guests were also lodged there for the civil ceremony and party slated to take place right inside the venue.
The new bride Roccuzzo (29 yrs) wore a tight, mermaid-style gown by Spanish designer Rosa Clara - who has dressed actress Eva Longoria and the Queen of Spain, Letizia.
Entertainments at the reception include a performance by Uruguayan pop bands Rombai, Marama and singer Karina, Aguero’s wife. Rumour has it Shakira would also perform.
Guests were asked to donate to a children's charity, instead of wedding presents.
As of the world best footballers, 30-year old Messi has won five Ballon d’Or award. The couple has been friends since Messi was 13, both currently live in Barcelona but still returns regularly to their hometown Rosario for vacations.
Before their wedding, Argentina media reported that the couple has spent the past two weeks in Rosario with family, but out of sight of reporters who have invaded the city.
Photos of the bachelor and bachelorette parties posted by ex-Barca goalkeeper Jose Pinto, shows Messi enjoying a barbeque with a few friends. While friends of Roccuzzo shared pictures of her relaxing with relatives.
The entile neighbourhood has been on frantic celebration since the eve of the wedding. Even a mural of Messi was painted in the hood for the occasion by artist Lisandro Urteaga who said:
