FROCKING UNBELIEVABLE Lionel Messi’s mum causes controversy by turning up to her son’s wedding in white dress as Barcelona star married Antonella Roccuzzo
LIONEL MESSI has
married childhood sweetheart Antonella Roccuzzo in Argentina’s ‘wedding
of the century’ — but it was the Barcelona superstar’s mum who made the
headlines.

However, Messi‘s mum Celia Maria Cuccittini appeared in a white frock — and was accused of trying to upstage the bride.
It was reported in Argentina that the two families had to book
separate entire floors at the luxury hotel complex in Rosario as they
are not on speaking terms.
In Argentina, it is considered extremely offensive for anyone other than the bride to wear white at a wedding.
But Cuccittini defied that tradition as she arrived on the red carped alongside husband Jorge Messi.
It had been rumoured in the build up to the ceremony that her dress would be “dark”.
Messi, 30, and Roccuzzo, 29, looked over the moon as they finally tied the knot in front of their young sons Thiago and Mateo.

Premier League stars Cesc Fabregas and Sergio Aguero were present, while Barcelona legends Xavi Hernandez, Carles Puyol and Samuel Eto’o were also in town.
It has been reported guests have had mobile phones banned, staff
sworn to secrecy and over 450 police officers have been brought in to
manage the situation.
Argentinian media say there is tension between Messi’s family and his bride Antonella.
