Lionel Messi Weds Childhood sweetheart in Rosario
Lionel Messi said "I do" to childhood sweetheart Antonella Roccuzzo on Friday in his Argentine hometown Rosario, where footballers and celebrities including pop singer Shakira are present for the "wedding of the century." Following the private ceremony the couple appeared happy and relaxed as they walked a red carpet before hundreds of media at a hotel and casino complex, Roccuzzo donning a tight, mermaid-style gown by the Spanish designer Rosa Clara. Shakira and Gerard Pique, flew in to join the 260 guests including numerous footballers such as Neymar and Luis Suarez.
Chelsea star Cesc Fabregas was in attendance, along with Leo's Argentina teammate Sergio Aguero
Messi and Roccuzzo live in Barcelona where he plays, but still return regularly to Rosario for vacation
But various old friends of the couple in their home city said the bride and groom are humble folk who have never forgotten where they come from.
"We are all happy for them," said Lisandro Urteaga, an artist who was called in to paint a mural of Messi in the neighborhood for the occasion.
I wish good luck to Leo and Anto, who is just as simple and nice as him
Let him celebrate the way someone like him deserves. He is a real example as a human being -- although when he plays football he doesn't seem to be from this planet.
