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.
The duo tied the knot in Rosario, where both are from and the bride’s dress had been flown in on a private jet from Spain.

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.

4 Bizarre Underwater Discoveries

Did you know that humans have explored outer space more than our own ocean floor? There are so many things hidden right under our noses and all we have to do is take a deep breath – no, more air! – and dive right under the surface. Sometimes that’s all it takes, and over the years, divers have uncovered some of the most shocking underwater scenes, artifacts and bizarre creatures out there. 1. Submerged Stonehenge A weird stone formation sits deep on the bottom of Lake Michigan. Nobody really knows what it is, what it’s for and if it has any connection to its British look-a-like. One of the pillars even has a picture of an animal that has been extinct for over 10,000 years. More questions than there are answers! 2. A Sculpture Park of Terror Start singing “Under the sea” from “Little Mermaid” while you’re diving to the bottom of the Caribbean Sea to check out what might be the creepiest place on earth.
