Childhood sweethearts.
Lionel Messi and Antonela Roccuzzo have married in Rosario, Aregntina with the celebrations described as ‘the wedding of the century’ by local newspaper Clarín.
A star-studded affair, the couple’s big day was attended by a number of Messi’s Barcelona teammates including Gerard Piqué, who was accompanied by his wife Shakira, Luis Suárez and Neymar.
Of course, we can’t stop gushing about Antonela’s dress, thought to have been created by bridal Barcelona-based designer Rosa Clara.
