YESTERDAY, LIONEL MESSI married his childhood sweetheart Antonella Rovuzzo in his hometown of Rosario, Argentina.
It was a glitzy affair befitting of the world’s best footballer. Let’s run down through it, shall we?
The wedding took place at a luxury hotel in Rosario, which AFP reports “stands right next to a crime-ridden slum run by drug gangs”
How low-key/borderline normal of him!
But this wasn’t quite like having the afters at a Jury’s Hotel.
Because this is Lionel Messi, he had a literal red carpet outside the event where guests were invited to strike a pose in front of 150 journalists covering the event.
Casual.
Whoops!

The guestlist was properly star-studded. (If you’re into soccer, that is.)
Footballers like Neymar, Luis Suarez, Dani Alves, Cesc Fabregas, Sergio Aguero, Carles Puyol, Xavier Hernandez and Samuel Eto’o were among the attendees.

But she didn’t walk the red carpet. She’s too good for that, you see.
Pique and Shakira went through the other entrance- not the red carpet 😤😤😤
Aside from a “sushi station”, the menu was a very Argentine affair, including empanadas (traditional pasties) and all parts of the cow, from a casserole of sweetbreads to blood sausage.
