Unlike previous times attending the FIFA Golden Ball Award gala, this time Messi did not have to receive any gossip about his outfit. Messi and Antonella exchanged vows of lifelong fidelity to each other in the presence of their first son Thiago, their officials and 250 guests. The ceremony ended unexpectedly when Messi secretly arranged for Argentine singer Abel Pintos to sing the song “Sin Principio ni final” (There is no beginning or end) – Antonella’s favorite song. Antonella did not know this part in advance.

Then Messi and Antonella happily gave each other a kiss, marking their relationship as they entered the husband and wife phase. Everyone commented that they were such a good couple.

Talking about the guests, they were as excited as a party. Messi’s former teammate at Barcelona, ​​Samuel Eto’o, entered the red carpet first. Next is Sergio Aguero and his girlfriend Karina. Next is Cesc Fabregas and his fiancee Daniella Seeman – the bride’s double-bite friend. Then there’s Ezequiel Lavezzi. Neymar went alone because he had just broken up with star Bruna Marquezine… The whole forest of football stars and the whole WAG garden gathered at City Center Rosario to share joy with Messi and Antonella.

Strict regulations

The wedding was so jubilant and sparkling. However, those invited must comply with some quite strict regulations. All guests are required to leave their phones outside before entering the wedding hall. La Nacion newspaper also revealed that Messi even requested to have a mobile signal breaking device here. It’s all to ensure that guests don’t take pictures of the wedding themselves. There is no need for them to rush to “check in”, “live stream” and share pictures of the wedding out via social networks. 

Xavi, Fabregas, Puyol and his wifeIn addition to being advised to keep information about this wedding as secret as possible, guests are also advised to bring at least 3 party outfits. This is to minimize the risk of them clashing outfits with each other. I saw that Martin Demichelis’ wife Evangelina had prepared… 5 different gorgeous dresses.

150 reporters were invited. But they were quarantined in a separate area until 10:30 p.m. the same day. They were completely banned from the marriage hall.

The image of the wedding is completely under Messi’s control. The images that were widely shared later were all taken by several reputable media outlets authorized by Messi.

To ensure absolute security for Messi’s wedding, the number of security staff on duty here is not just 200 people as previously leaked information. The actual number is up to 450 security staff.

The detailed wedding scenario was kept secret until the last minute. None of the guests knew how each stage of Messi’s wedding unfolded. And when they saw, heard, ate, drank, and wished, as promised to the bride and groom, they did not dare to reveal anything.
